For my first attempt, brown rice syrup was unavailable, so I used maple syrup. The taste was fantastic, but, as advised, the consistency was not good. I just made my second batch with the brown rice syrup, and they turned out great! I use fresh dates instead of raisins. Now, I’ll start playing around with other combinations of ingredients. Thanks so much for providing this recipe!5 stars

It all depends on how you package them. They will definitely last a few weeks if kept in a well sealed in a baggie. Exposure to air will dry them out, so you will want to reduce that as much as possible. They’re also likely to crumble if smashed into a bear canister. If you wanted to send these to yourself in a meal drop (month or so ahead of time) we would consider vacuum sealing them.

Psyched about this recipe. My girlfriend and I love Bobo’s bars, but they’re rather stupidly expensive. Looking forward to trying this out and experimenting with mix-ins! Do you know how long the bars will likely keep? I’ve got a four-day bikepacking trip coming up, and I’m wondering if I they’d stay good throughout the trip without preservatives. Thanks!
