Thanks for sharing a state secret with the masses, Dear Leader.

Followed the recipe to the tee, with great success.

I have posted my kitchen adventures with these bars here :

They can't possibly be 900 or even 830 calories per bar if they're 100g bars. Fats contain the highest concentration of calories, approx 9/gram. So if it was a solid block of 100g of butter, then it could possibly contain 900 calories but obviously it's not a solid block of fat. Either the serving size you calculated for is much, much larger, you calculated kilojules or you just made an arithmetic error somewhere.

Man I have to say this is really messed up, cocaine bars I would preffer 10 redbuls instead of half of that cocaine bar.I guess people should be more careful about what they eat because you have a good diet you wouldn't need any energy suplement.

has anyone suggested adding a sprinkle of anhydrous caffeine powder?

Love to hear how moist the bars will be with 200g golden syrup over one month of storage. One of the problem I find with Winner Bars and others are that they are too dry and/or too chewy to eat when the going gets tough. The jam keeps the bars moist but not chewy this allows you to down a bar quickly while you are under the pump. Maybe take the sugar out if you find it too sweet. Personally, I find the jam to be a must ingredient but this is personal.

I usually get 20ish bars per batch as my bars are different in sizes – small ones for short rides bigger ones for longer rides.

The good thing about making your own bars is that you can create your own master piece.

I made a half-quantity batch on the weekend. Total cost of $16.60 for 10x130g bars.

I also made a batch of these on the weekend – halving the recipe but otherwise sticking to ingredients as listed.
My batch was 10 bars at about 130g each – pretty much as Jake's results.
Fantastic taste – maybe slightly sweet. Will try Carly's tweaks (above) next time – possibly a little extra oats.

Haven't tested them on-the-bike yet. Just ate half of them over the weekend (testing for adverse effects, honest!).

Thanks CT & dearleader.

I may have been mistaken on the weight of each bar. Mine may have been twice as thick as the ones that you made.
