Eatmore Energy Bars

These bars really are great for an energy boost, I have had many customers over the years who have sworn by them. One of these was a marathon runner who always stocked up on a supply of energy bars which he found sustained him much better than any of the protein bars that he tried.
I hope he finds our blog so he can get the recipe. I hope he and everyone else who has asked for this recipe will find it on our blog. Eatmore Energy Bars will be in the next book which will be Cookies, and other treats.

Eatmore Energy Bars

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup honey
1 cup carob powder
1 cup sesame seeds
1 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/2 cup fine unsweetened coconut
1 cup coarsely chopped peanuts
Melt honey and peanut butter together in a large saucepan over very low heat. Stir together and remove from heat when it is soft and mixed well. It doesn't need to be hot. Stir in the carob powder. It will make it very thick. Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix very well. Empty into an 8 x 11 pan or a 9 x 9 inch pan. Using the back of a clean sturdy spoon, press it into the pan. Work it into the pan very well so that there are no loose seeds left underneath. The top should be smooth and shiny. Refrigerate to set.
This doesn't have to be kept in the fridge, but it will keep a long time if it is stored well wrapped in a fridge.
