Tired of spending money on snack bars from the vending machine or Midd-Express? Here’s a simple no-bake, energy-filled treat you can whip up in your room inspired by Eva Reynolds (University of Rochester). We’ve modified the recipe to include only ingredients found in Proctor, Ross, and Atwater. For measuring, a “bowl” is equivalent to a dining hall cereal bowl, a “glass cup” is a glass (or plastic) drinking cup found in all dining halls, and a “teaspoon” is a regular (non-soup) spoon.

Your Common’s offices and kitchens are stocked with baking tools just for your use. So head over to your Common’s Coordinator to snag a mixing bowl and some cupcake liners or a cupcake baking pan to get started.

Then grab your friends and head to your favorite dining hall for the goods.
