These soft chewy breakfast bars will get you through to lunch or work as well as a hiking bar. They energize and keep you feeling full. They are not sweet like most cookies but they really satisfy. Also check out the hobbit seed cakes from this same recipe. will have Eric take a picture of that tonight.

How To Make breakfast bars or hobbit seed cakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a large bowl Partially melt butter in microwave 40 seconds Slice bark squares into small pieces
Step 3

In the bowl add the remaining ingredients and spread into a greased and floured 9x12 Baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes until a golden brown all the way across. Before they cool score into 4 rows or 4 bars. allow to cook and eat
Step 4

Hobbit seed cakes Omit seeds, chocolate and nuts from the top recipe and replace with the sesame seeds and milled flax seed. cook and mix as it said above and cook the same amount of time. It will be crispier but still not crispy and denser than the regular recipe. Eric was dancing over this one.
