Another great recipe I found in one of Mother's old cookbooks. I have modernized it a bit, and substituted coconut for nuts to accommodate those with nut allergies. I don't remember ever making these before, but they are worth the effort. They beat the processed energy bars (which are full of chemicals) offered at stores hands-down. These will be great to carry along on our next camping adventure.
