Homemade "On the Bike" Energy Drinks and Bars

[mudmucker]

I'm searching for homemade "on the bike" energy drinks and bars and came up with the following. Do these look like they'll do the trick, or not?

Energy Bars:

2 cups corn syrup
1 tablespoon honey
2 cups natural nut butter, preferably fresh ground
1 to 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon (or more) cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups protein powder

I'll use the various ingredients above but use brown rice syrup instead of honey, (and never corn syrup). The brown rice syrup is a bit of a more slowly digesting sugar (for me) and doesn't cause insane spikes in glucose levels.
