Sorry I am so late to the thread.
“Emergency Survival Bar
* 3 C. cereal (oatmeal, cornmeal, or wheat flakes)
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 3 T. honey
* 2 1/2 C. powdered milk
* 1 C. sugar
* 1/2 C. Jello (optional)
* 1/4 C. water
* add raisons if you like
Place all dry ingredients except Jello in a bowl. Bring water, honey, and Jello to a boil. Add to dry ingredients. Mix well. Add water a little at a time until mixture is just moist enough to mold. Place in a small square dish and dry in the oven under very low heat. Wrap and store. This will make 2 bars, each containing approx. 1000 calories or enough food for one day. These will store for a long time if they are cooked until quite dry, and are excellent for emergency packs, etc. Eat dry, or cooked in about 3/4 C. water.

I have made some of these and wanted to pass on a few tips. You can use molasses, karo(light or dark), or even pancake syrup in a pinch if you don’t have any honey.
1 package of jello is approx 1/3 of a cup.
Instead of a square pan use BIG muffin cups and divide the recipie in 500 cal servings.
You can correct the vitamin C deficiency in these bars by adding 1/2 teaspoon of vitamin C crystals with the dry ingredients. (Can be gotten at Puritan’d Pride cheaply)

Thank you for the recipe, they look good and are what Dr.Bill Wattenberg keeps telling his listeners to keep in their cars, office desks and bug out bags for emergency, along with Spam and Peanut Butter.........says those are the best for survival.
He also suggests walking shoes and a sleeping bags, says that when the freeways are clogged with broken down cars, you will be out and walking.
Laughing at your ‘d or ‘s, as I would never have caught that one, I can’t even see a ‘.’ on the monitor.
A grammar mistake monitor will go insane if they are checking my typing.........As I still spell with an ‘old’ Texas accent.
Welcome, I am glad you are here.
