This dense, chewy calorie-packed bar has its roots in Minnesota's Boundary Waters, where trappers and paddlers tote the bars in their canoes. For a boost of protein, smear the bar with peanut butter. Our version comes from the Gunflint Lodge in Grand Marais.

HUDSON'S BAY BREAD (HOMEMADE GRANOLA BARS)



Hudson's Bay Bread (Homemade Granola Bars) image

I can't explain how good these are. They are perfect snacks for camping/hiking trips. a great thing about them is that you can add or take away some ingredients, like the peanuts. I like to put in mini m&m's. My husband loves this stuff, but tells me I can only make it once a year, usually during the summer when we go on a big camping trip, mainly because of it's fat/sugar content - you have to be careful with this stuff- it's addicting! and I'm not sure about the servings, i just guessed :) UPDATE: Sorry about the typing error with the heating times, it is correct now.

  • Dried Fruit: Choose dried fruits that are soft and chewy, such as raisins, cranberries, cherries, or apricots.

  • Pressing the Granola Bars: When pressing the granola bars into the pan, use a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
