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.

Ronnie had to use the bathroom during a shopping trip at Sam's yesterday which left me alone for several delicious moments in the snacky area.  I snagged this:

 

 

SO GOOD.     I doubt I'll ever run across it again.

When snag becomes gag. If you keep buying it they'll keep making it. I'd love to see the packaging for the Chinese version.  Shelby you kill me. You're such a cheap date. When my husband disappears I grab caviar. The grape caviar is good, but the raspberry is better.
