    This Hiker Bars recipe was designed for autumnal walks for the Fabulous Baker Brothers.

    Tom and Henry always used to go to the Lake District in October half term when they were small.

    Without fail they always had the Hiker Bars with them, which their Mum made before they went away.

    Hiker Bars; The story.

    This Hiker Bars recipe keeps for weeks, and it’s chewy, fruity and the kind of thing that’s robust enough that you can pack it into a biscuit tin and it rattles around until it’s all gone.

    We now make it in our shops and it sells like hot cakes, and our Hiker Bars are soon to be available online.
