Ingredients
Required:
Dates (in the Netherlands, one packet is good for two bars. You can use the packet as a mould for the bars)
At least one of the options under optional 1
Optional 1:
Cereal (I use cereal only, because it often contains nuts and dried fruit)
All kind of nuts
Dried fruit
Chocolate
Raisins
Optional 2:
Cacoa powder
Vanilla sugar
Brown sugar
Instructions
1. Cut all the dates up and remove the seed
2. Add whatever ingredients you choose
3. Start kneading it all together
4. Put it in a mould and knead it in the right shape
5. Put a lit or tin foil around it
6. Put it in the fridge overnight to let it gel into a nice firm bar
Tip
If you’ve got something chocolaty in it, don’t knead it too much. This way you get in less of the nuts and other stuff, and all the dates. The dates in this shape takes really well with the chocolate.
If you want your bar nice and crispy, knead it all through till all the ingredients are taken in and you get a nice big lump. These bars are very rich and remain crispy longer.
The bars are very rich. Eating one bar will take some doing.
The older the bars get, the dryer and richer they will get.
Enjoy!

Autumn Struck Again
Today I was asked twice what was the matter with me. I am normally more upbeat and cheerful. I could smile, for example. I wasn’t aware my autumn exhaustion was so obvious.
Yes, autumn has struck again. I couldn’t wake up this morning, which also meant I was very late for work. Right now, I feel hot like I’ve got a fever. I feel light headed and I’ve got a headache. Wow, my autumn exhaustion has taken on new heights and it didn’t even notify me. I’m afraid I’m going to have to look into insurancing my autumn/winter dip for health reasons, obviously. The last few years I’ve been avoiding this, because I’m afraid I’ll get dependent on medicins or something.
I can tell you, however, this week I made four energy bars for work. They turned out beautifull and delicious. Have a look at a small piece of one of the energy bars.
Hopefully, it will help in my autumn/winter dip. And let’s hope the sun won’t stay away till April next year, like it did this year.
