Making Energy Bars Part II

My mom doesn’t even know what i had to go through to get my energy bar fix. And the bars i made? brrr-ick not good. but I had been craving one of those tasty chewy bars for well over a month but so far no luck in finding a recipe.

In the early evening after i had oddly enough finished my homework i was looking for a recipe. i stumbled across my moms book Raw power or something like that and found one on a banana and honey bar. it was just what i wanted and it was the only other bar recipe that didn’t call for a dehydrator. Course i didn’t see the “must keep stored for 24 hours for flavors to meld and blend.”

There was no friken melding or blending it just stayed there in the same mixture, NOT BLENDING!  So i followed the recipe and yelled to my mom at certain points and I’ll point it out here and now. 1) i could not see the granola 2)it looked like uncooked brownie mix. Now maybe some of these things should’ve been sure waring signs saying “oh god LEAVE US” or “THIS IS THE END!” But my mom i both agreed that it will look better after 24 hours in the freezer.

WRONG!!! It still freaken looked like uncooked brownie mix and it tasted not at all like it. The next task said we had to keep it in the freezer so i did that. Unfortunately every time i wanted a piece of a “granola bar” i would follow these basic instructions. Step 1 get tin out of freezer. Step 2 hack at the part you want to eat. Step 3 if that doesn’t work pry at the cut pieces with fingers until they are to numb. Step 4 repeat steps 2 and 3. when you finally have your granola thing the least you could do to make it less painful would to imagine your eating frozen brownie mix.

As one can see this granola bar thing ( which by the way i saw no granola) was horrible and at a certain point i gave up and just left it there freezing until my mom threw it out recently. my lesson? don’t make bars without a dehydrator, which we got..now

What happened with the frozen energy bars

Admin amendment: They were truly horrible. And we hoped, that once we got a dehydrator, things would go better. :)
