We refrigerate and/or freeze to increase that, although at the expense of freshness. These bars have proven to be life-savers for our family, substituting for a missed breakfast or an energy-boosting afternoon snack. THE BEST healthy snack I've EVER had. Our favorite version - big chunks of tart apples and lots of molasses! We have found the shelf-life to be a couple weeks unrefrigerated.

I was curious to know if you have any recipe which does not call for perishables and does not require an oven for processing? For example, do you have a recipe which could be mixed, formed into bars, and then left in the sun to form and firm up “cook”, and then be wrapped and stored for later? What is the shelf life of your bars, as described in the recipe above, and what is your recommended method of packaging for long term storage, as in an emergency food in a disaster??? I have a lot of questions about this for a very good cause I’m working on. Any chance we can take this off-line in email and you can post what you like here on your blog/site? Hello KC,
