My kids have a place close by that they like to go hiking.  Not long ago they dragged me along and told me it was a farily quick hike up to see a beautiful waterfall.  I thought, that sounded great and went along totally unprepared.  No water or snacks and what I thought was an easy quick hike turned into a four hour ordeal.  Lesson learned, first never trust my kids to tell me it is a quick and easy hike, and second never go without bringing a snack and water.  Thank heavens for friends that we randomly ran into along the way who were able to supply me with the things I needed before I passed out from low blood sugar and dehydration!!  I found this recipe on Betty Crocker for trail mix bars and decided to make them in preparation for the next hike.  I found that these Trail Mix Bars are perfect to take along as a boost of energy when out on the trail or really just anytime!  These are chewy and nutty and store nicely!!
