I do and if you do too then you will luv this recipe for how to make them yourself.

I was thinking about replacing the syrup part of the recipe with agave nectar for those of us who are diabetic. Worth a try.
These would make a great meal replacement if there is a lack of meat in your diet, there also portable and do not require baking.

Thu, July 2, 2009 - 8:44 AMThey taste good, but I can't eat them anymore after learning they are processed with hexane, a petroleum by product that causes illness.
Read this report, particularly the second half. www.cornucopia.org (click on reports and then the soy report)

Re: Who luvs Cliff BArs??
Thu, July 2, 2009 - 9:15 AMI've never had more than a bite or 2 of Cliff bars - used to have Luna bars all the time. And there is that funny medicinal aftertaste in some of the varieties... is that the soy?
But I LOVE no bake cookies! So, I'll have to give this recipe a try before we go on our Redwoods camping trip in 10 days... Whoo Hoo, I'm so excited to be getting away! Hopefully, we won't drive 4 hours and arrive with all our gear to find the park closed and the bathroom/showers locked with no one to service them. Thanks alot, guvernator. -

Thu, July 2, 2009 - 11:15 AMThis recipe looks great! I love Cliff Bars. I have never noticed any funny aftertaste with them at all. Luna bars, however, have an odd taste I find.

Fri, July 3, 2009 - 5:34 PMI like Clif Bars better than any other protein bars, as they are less sweet and taste more like real food. My favorite flavours are the Black Cherry Almond and the Oatmeal Walnut. But I still wish that they had some SAVORY flavours, because when I'm replacing a meal I don't usually want something sweet.
Thanks for the link, I'll go check it out now. Maybe I can invent a savory version.

Sun, August 2, 2009 - 9:35 AMVery tru. I guess you could always use the recipe and try some new flavors out. Let us know what you come up with : ) I may even try this myself. I already made the original recipe and it worked out great and they do taste just like cliff bars. The hardest part is shaping them into the bar while its still soft before they go in the fridge.

Re: Who luvs Cliff BArs??
Tue, August 4, 2009 - 3:37 PMI have this issue, too, when it comes to portable snacks. Most things use a sweet-sticky binder, like honey or brown rice syrup or something. What could one use as a non-sweet binder? I make a curry snack mix that's *almost* savory, but it still uses a wee bit of honey to adhere the spices to the cereals. With curry, it works, but if there is a savory binder, I'd love to know what it is! -

Tue, August 4, 2009 - 7:23 PMWell the syrup caramelizes so that it binds the bars when they are chilled in the fridge so it would have to be something that acts like that to maintain the same texture. -

Re: Who luvs Cliff BArs??
Tue, August 4, 2009 - 7:26 PMI guess that while boiling the syrup you could add something a bit more savory to it besides peanut butter for a different flavor. Try turmeric, that seems to have a light savory flavor.

Re: Who luvs Cliff BArs??
Tue, August 4, 2009 - 8:02 PMcan you use soaked flax seed as a binder? -
-
Re: Who luvs Cliff BArs??
Tue, August 4, 2009 - 10:28 PMit will work well, but remember that honey and syrup and stuff, also dries out slow. so the hard as brick granola bars - thats what happens.
maybe experiment with part flax and part agave, or flax mucilage/stevia glycerite.?
gum acacia is a plain binder too, but again, it will dry hard as a brick.
