Emporia Powerbar Recipe?

[notinKansasanymore]

Does anyone remember how to make those incredible powerbar / healthfood bar things that we used to get in our Sunday sack suppers at Emporia? They were bricks. I loved them. It'd be great to be able to make up a batch for the next family camping extravaganza.

HHHHhhhhhhmmmmmmmm????

Hi NotinKansasanymore, Are you talking about the ones with the peanutbutter and seasme seeds?

[Radar OReilly]

Nika,

I don't have the actual sesame seed or braun food bar recipes anymore, but one of the first two or three Moosewood Cookbooks has a recipe that is really close.

You are right! YUMMMMMY!!

ROR

Here's the actual recipe for the sesame peanutbutter bars:

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup peanut butter (the natural does a better job)

1 cup non-instant powdered milk

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1 cup sesame seeds

Warm honey and peanutbutter together, add powdered milk, coconut and then sesame seeds. Spread into a 9x9 pan, refrigerate, and cut into squares. Makes a dozen

[notinKansasanymore]

Whoa. Getting this recipe took a total of twenty minutes.

I love the internet.

Thank you very much, Cowgirl!!

I was called the Emporia Food service queen by many (It was my In-resident career)

1/2 Cup p-nut butter

1/2 cup honey

1 Cup milk powder

1 cup sesame seeds

mix together and press into pan

cut into squares

This next recipe I haven't reduced (sorry)

braun food bars

45 cups raisins

18 cups oats

18 cups peanuts

18 cups walnuts

Grind this in food grinder until very smooth and press into a pan. Cut into squares

This takes quite some time to make.

Thank you , thank you!

Last night, I made my own version:

2 cups raisins, ground in food processor

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup milk powder

1/4 cup honey

3/4 cup coconut

I mixed it all together, pressed it into a pan, and the kids are still begging for more of it!

Now I have something new for quick energy for the t-ball crowd; thank you very, very much!

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM

[imbus]

Gladtobeout,

YOU ROCK GIRL. I'v been dreaming of thoose peanutbutter bars for years. It was the only comfort food or food that gave me comfort. I would trade my sandwich for one of those. We got bag dinner for corps nite on Wed.

Thank for giving the recipe. This is a great day.YYYYYYIIIIIIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE.

[Tom Strange]

I thought it was fig pap or was it "pep"?

anyway, on these bar thingies... are you supposed to bake 'em? or freeze 'em? or just let them sit there until they dry out and get hard?

[dmiller]

I'm getting hungry just reading these recipes!

[dmiller]

"Familia with apple juice". Man does that bring back some memories!! :D-->

[GrouchoMarxJr]

Funny as it may seem, the idea of resurrecting old waycorps recipes makes me want to barf.

[dmiller]

Uncle H -- Really??? That is too bad. :(--> :(--> :(-->

I never did care where the recipe came from. If the "end product" was tasty, who gives a rip who "promotes it" ?? -->

[dmiller]

Am guessing you are associating the food with bad experiences.

Me? -- I enjoy the food, and forget the experiences that used to be around it.

[dmiller]

And that is just my "IMHO". ;)-->

[gladtobeout]

Tom

You simply mix them and keep them in an airtight container in the Frig. They will stay good for quite some time. No need for baking or drying out.

[Tom Strange]

gracias glad2Bout!

[dmiller]

Glad 2 -- so are you bringing "batches of bars" to the "gathering" in October?
