In an emergency or survival situation, cookie-like food bars come in handy. There are commercially available food bars out there that contain anywhere from 2400 to 3600 calories a package (usally broken down in smaller bars around 200 calories each). These bars are even handy on hiking and camping trips. Keeping several in the glove box of your vehicle can also come in handy during the winter season.
I've been searching the internet to see if there are any emergency survival bar recipes out there. One that I have came across even had a nutritional analysis attached with the recipe (link). This bar is comparable to most commercial made bars in nutritional value. The author mentions the lack of vitamin C. This could easily be remedied by adding cranberrys to the recipe.
Besides the emergency survival bars, there are recipes out there for home-made power bars (link).
Any of the above types of bars above when sealed right should last awhile in storage. This could be a cheaper alternative than buying the commercial bars, but the commercial bars have been known for their long-time storage. Be familiar with preserving and storing foods if you want your home-made bars to store for a long time.
