Wow, 1000 calories. I think I put on a few pounds just reading the recipe!

Here is one I have made from time to time. My wife hates them, I think that they are pretty tasty...

Hudson Bay Bread
Recipe Ingredients
• 1 Cup butter, softened
• 1 Cup of sugar
• 3 Tablespoons light corn syrup (or a little more)
• 3 Tablespoons of honey (or a little more)
• 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla
• 9 1/2 Cups finely ground rolled oats (I can only get 6-7 cups in, it gets too hard to mix)
• 1/2 Cup sliced almonds (I never use ‘em)
Serves: 6
This was a European staple before workers of the Hudson Bay Company packed it along on beaver-trapping excursions into what is now the American West. No light snack, this early energy bar reportedly stoked the metabolic fires of Sir Edmund Hillary as he ascended Everest.
At Home: Cream together the butter, sugar, syrup, honey, and vanilla. Grind the oats using a food processor or coffee grinder, then slowly stir in the almonds and oats. Press it all into a 13 x 9-inch pan. Bake at 325:F for 15 to 20 minutes. Don_t overcook; it crumbles. As soon as you remove it from the oven, press the mix firmly with a spatula (VERY important). Cut into squares and let cool in the pan.

My favorite is a modified "Logan Bread".
It is a very dense not to sweet wheat type cake/bread.
It contains nuts and chopped dried fruit. I add additional finely chopped fruitcake fruit to the basic reciept for just a bit more taste and sweet. It will keep for years and to make it
last even longer soak it in brandy.

It is NOT your Grannies Fruitcake!

Reading the recipe, it reminds me of something that the kitchen made when I was college. Imagine leftover jello (at the stage it tastes kinda odd), corn flakes and milk blended together in terms of taste. They weren't the worst thing I've ever eaten, but I've had better, although to be fair they made them at the end of the month when they had to refill the cereal bins to the flakes were like bits of stale 100 year old parchment.

Wasn't there an old USAF emergency ration like this?

Power Bars, Granola Bars and Sports Drinks

Well I recommend trying to make your own power bars. So I decided it would only be fair if I went out and found a few. Well maybe I went a tad overboard. But at least everyone should be able to find something to match their taste.

Raspy, you might want to double check your list. Several of those pages aren't up any more.

I've got to find some that do not require nuts/peanut butter since I am severely allergic. PB makes a great binder/fat/protein source but it is also a First Class ticket to the grave for some of us. Ditto on the nuts as a protein source. (careful Blast)
