Use the following basic methodology to make

You can vary which mixes you use and add additional ingredients to adjust the nutritional composition to meet your needs.

  • To make it into bars simply spread the mix out into one large mass making it approximately ?-1″ thick;
  • Alternately you can use something like the Slice Solutions or Perfect Brownie bake pans;
  • You can dehydrate or bake them (some even keep them raw by placing them in the freezer to set up);
  • If dehydrating, we recommend 118 degrees; it will take 2-4 hours depending on how moist or dry you prefer them to be;
  • If baking, we recommend approx. 300 degrees (lower will work as well and we do prefer it when time isn?t a concern; if you’d prefer a lower baking temperature, simply increase the baking time to suit the texture you’d like your finished bars to be);
  • Once finished dehydrating or baking, simply allow them to cool for at least 20 minutes
  • Slice them into whatever size bars you’d like;
  • Wrap them or place them in seal-tight Tupperware ? style containers for future consumption;
  • Refrigeration will keep them viable for about a week and a half whereas freezing will keep them fresh and edible for many months (although you’ll likely eat them long before that).
