Yes, I did the same. I shared these two energy bars with a recent hiking group I was with. They always taste better on top of a mountain peak. Thank you.
Hi Maureen. I imagine they would be quite dry without the coconut oil. Please let me know if you come up with a variation of the recipe. We had a good hike today, and I carried along a couple of energy bars I made. They were delicious, although Burn seemed to think they were doggie treats.
Oil is healthier than the sugar from the dates as long as it's not highly processed vegetable oils due to toxins from heat. The coconut oil is good and healthy in small doses and best if cold pressed like good EV olive oils.
They look fantastic, Ray. I'll have to try them. BTW, did you get to photograph the Aurora Borealis? I imagine it would be incredibly impressive from your vantage point in Alaska.
@@akwild1 if it’s any consolation, Ray, the Aurora was really impressive here in Tasmania but because I had to work the next day (which involves driving tourists to Cradle Mountain and showing them around) I was in bed early. The thought of falling asleep while driving a bus full of passengers is the stuff of my nightmares. I’m confident it’s only the beginning of a. Impressive solar maxima so other impressive auroral displays to come.
That's a good question. I freeze mine before taking them out. I have carried them for a week on the trail without any problems, although the second recipe can get a little gooey if it gets too warm. I worry about my prepared foods going rancid, although that has yet to happen, so I keep things frozen before I head off on a trip.
I live in Alaska, so we pretty much invented high prices. I use good ingredients so the cost might be up there, but I don't think it's as high as what you would pay for other high-quality energy bars. There is a sense of pride eating what you made during a hiking or backpacking trip. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.
@@akwild1 that made me both smile at your humour and smirk at the realisation that even the simple things in life cost, but a walk outside is free! Thank you
Thanks, I will give them both a try.
Wonderful. Let me know how it goes.
Yum, I'm making both. Thanks so much!
Hope you enjoy

Thanks for the recipes. I will be trying them soon. The recipes sounds great and they look delicious.
I’ve been taking them along on my hikes and they hit the spot. Thank you.
👍
These bars are great , tried them from “The Hungry Hiker” vlogs. 🦋❤️
Glad you enjoyed them. We take them on every hike or backpacking trip.
Looks delish! Need to try these. Wondering if not using the oil would make any difference. I try to stay away from oil. Think I'll experiment a bit.

All oils get to me.
Good recipe. Greetings 😊
Thank you so much 🙂

Ben, that’s a sore point with me. I had everything set up, but then we had heavy clouds for two days. I felt tormented.

Question: How many weeks or months do you think these energy bars would keep at room temperature once they are vacuum sealed?
That's a good question. I freeze mine before taking them out. I have carried them for a week on the trail without any problems, although the second recipe can get a little gooey if it gets too warm.

These look really good, however where i am the ingredients are HIGHLY expensive. Just wondering how much it costs per bar for you? Thnks
