I'm no longer a big sweets person, but this looks really good to me. I should look around for recipes along these lines. I don't suppose you have one handy? (I also don't have access to maltitol syrup, with or without the formal chemical name you so hilariously provide) but I have a lot of honey and maple syrup.)

 

I should say that maple syrup is unknown in Xinjiang or anywhere else in China. It is uber-North American. 

 

That's not to say you shouldn't use it should you find a recipe.

 

It is nearly al produced in Canada and the USA and used there, although limited amounts are exported to Europe. I've never had it, ever.

Oh, I understand that. I just have no idea where I'd find maltitol syrup, and right now I'm on a "use stuff on hand" kick that may not last long. As you note, honey is also a possibility.

 

This NYTimes recipe for energy bars looks like it might be a good starting point, based strictly on appearance. The recipe should be unlocked.

If you wanted to be "authentically" Xinjiang, I would suggest using your honey, but as I said, there is zero reason not to use maple syrup.
