homemade energy bars (Read 1073 times)

The stuff I've been making isn't necessarily an energy bar, but they are easy and tasty. I mix peanut butter, powdered milk, and honey and roll them into balls. You can add raisins, sunflower seeds or whatever else sounds good to you. I keep them in my fridge and they give a nice little boost.

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

Not to take over the thread... but I am reading "In Defense of Food" is that a reference to Michael Pollan's books?

Yeppers. Introduced in his NYT article and in the Omnivore's Dilemma.

Hijack complete. I'm nearly finished with The Omnivore's Dilemma. Good stuff.

My beef jerky or apple leather recipes, on the other hand, are well worth sharing.

and..... You can't just let the group hang like that. Lets hear those recipes.

Rachael Ray had Robin McGraw on her show and she made these energy bars......... I haven't tried them but they looked good! Robin McGraw's Family Snack Ingredients Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter, as needed for pan 3 cups large marshmallows 3/4 cup nut butter, such as cashew, almond, peanut or hazelnut 1 10 to 12-ounce box brown rice cereal 1/2 cup dried cranberries 2/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted 2/3 cup chopped cashews, toasted Preparation Lightly coat the bottom and sides of a medium baking sheet with the nonstick cooking spray or melted butter. In a microwave-safe bowl, zap the marshmallows and nut butter, stirring after 1 minute, until melted, about 2 minutes. Add the brown rice cereal, cranberries, pecans and cashews to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir gently to combine – be careful not to crush up the bits of cereal too much. Either wet your hands or spray them lightly with the nonstick cooking spray and turn the cereal marshmallow mixture out onto the greased baking sheet. Press it into the pan using your slick hands so that it's evenly distributed. Set the pan aside and let the bars set up, about 30 minutes. Once set, cut them into squares and serve.

This won't work for me. Most of the marshmallows would be gone by the time preparation would start. The recipe looks good. I am going to try it out this weekend (I'll by two bags of marshmallow. Or three).

Run-to-win, are you out there. We're still waiting for those recipes. !!
