I'm a firm believer in real food, not chemical substitutes or wannabe astronaut rations. Plus, $2.36 for a Clif bar is a bit steep. So I'm looking around for energy bar recipes.
Great googlee moogly! Where are you buying those things from? You can pick them up for $0.99 from Trader Joes, and even at convienence stores they're generally only $1.50->1.99.

Kevan posted one last week which looks pretty good, though I haven't tried it yet.
I'm x-no-archived, but the key trem to search on is "Logan bread." There are many recipes and variants. I would stay away from the original recipe though, which is insanely high in fat and cholesterol.
To Matt: if you want his recipe, I can re-post it, because it's still in my cache.

Who pays $2.36 for a Clif bar? My local supermarket charges 95 cents each. Costco charge $18 for a box of 24 bars.
If you want to make your own, how about a simple whole grain bread with some honey or dried fruit mixed in? You need to bake every couple of days, though, unless you have a real fancy packaging system.

Who pays $2.36 for a Clif bar?
People who have to buy them at specialty health food stores in small towns, four hours' drive from the nearest Trader Joe's.

Not sure what country you're in, but in the U.S. you'd have a tough time finding a store that charged $2.36 for a Clif Bar. They cost $1 each at Trader Joe's, even less in a box of 24 from Costco (I think that it's under $20 for a box of 24).
Baking something is an option, but one attraction of Clif Bars is that they' re individually vacuum packed and very convenient. Googling "Energy Bar Recipes" brings up a lot of options, most of them granola bar-ish

I would think a freezer would work fairly well. Bread, especially highly dense bread like these, freezes exceptionally well. So you might only need to do one big bake every month or two.

Died at the tender age of 51 from a heart attack. Wasn't he a pretty athletic fellow? It concerns me when I see athletic individuals die at relatively young ages.
But wasn't he a vegetarian that pushed soy-based foods? If one is going to follow a diet that our systems didn't evolve to eat, then one should be willing to accept the consequences.

If BM was a vegetarian he didn't publicize it much. The guy who owns Clif Bar runs much more of an ecological/sustainability-minded company and advertises organic ingredients and vegan recipes.
Human anatomy more closely resembles vegetarian animals' than carniverous animals' (compare lengths of intestines and shapes of teeth).
The Pritkin diet has been widely studied and shown to reduce cholesteral, triglecerides, and blood pressure - pretty much the opposite of Atkins in its approach to weight loss.
And we don't need long canine teeth as we developed tools some two million years ago. And yes before that we weren't meat eaters, but we were insectivores. Without the high protein and nutrient content of insects we would not have become smart enough to develop tools.
