# Step-by-Step:
01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges overhang for easy removal.
02 - Combine rolled oats, almond butter, honey, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until mixture is homogeneous. Press firmly and evenly into the lined pan. Refrigerate base while continuing with next step.
03 - Pour selected fruit juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over surface of juice and let hydrate for 5 minutes. Warm mixture over low heat, stirring consistently until gelatin is fully dissolved. Add honey and mix well. Pour liquid into a parchment-lined small baking dish. Chill for 45 to 60 minutes until set.
04 - Using a sharp knife, cut chilled gummy slab into small, uniform cubes.
05 - Remove oat base from refrigerator. Evenly distribute homemade gummy cubes, freeze-dried fruit, and freeze-dried candy over the surface. Press toppings gently into the base with a spatula.
06 - Return pan to refrigerator and chill for an additional 10 to 15 minutes to set toppings.
07 - Lift the bars out of the pan by pulling up the parchment edges. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 12 equal rectangles.
