Judy's Bumble Bars

Amber W's Note:

My mom tried a Bumble bar when in Idaho and recreated the recipe. This is her basic recipe which is great. I have tried dried fruit with the basic recipe for a wonderful taste. Note: Since I got this recipe I have not been able to find evaporated cane syrup. My mom's solution was to dissolve pure cane sugar and cook it down a little to make it thicker. I just use corn syrup.

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 15

• 1 1/2 cups sesame seeds
• 3/4 cup almond meal
• 1/2 cup flax seed (golden flax is preferred)
• 1/2 cup macadamia nuts (finely chopped)
• 1/4 cup cashews (finely chopped)
• 1/2 cup brown rice syrup (or corn syrup)
• 2 tablespoons evaporated cane syrup (or corn syrup)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and press into a well oiled 9 X 13 pan (I use olive oil spray).
2. Bake for 20 minutes at 300 degrees.
3. Cut in to bars while hot (it's so much easier than trying to cut when cool!).

This was a great recipe! I love bumble bars, just not the price. These are about as close as I could come out of my own kitchen. I'm excited to play with the recipe to come up with clones for the other bumble bar flavors, esp the chocolate! A few notes....since most of the nuts I used were roasted and salted, I should have cut the salt in the recipe slightly. Also, I found brown rice syrup in the organic/natural section of the grocery store (it's an organic sweetener). I couldn't find evaporated cane syrup. However, I did have evaporated cane juice crystals on hand, so I just mostly dissolved 2 Tbsp of the crystals in just enough water to make a syrup. Worked perfectly! I also let a friend try out the results and she loved it too, as did my husband and kids. Thanks for the great recipe Judy!
