Davy Crockett and his B'ars

Around here, all things 'boy' have been into all things 'Davy Crockett'.

We have read his biography and started on his autobiography.
We know of his home--"Born on a mountain-top in Tennessee"
We know of his childhood--that he attended school for only four days.
Of his wilderness adventures--how in one year he killed one hundred five b'ars with his rifle Betsy.
Of his time as a woodsman in Tennessee--fighting with General Jackson.
Of his time courting his wife--and how she died and he remarried.
Of his time in  Legislature, and after that, his time as a riverman on the Mississippi.
And of his trip to Texas--and his death at the Alamo.

And oh! how we wish we had a coonskin cap and hunting clothes, just like Davy's!


And so, on a whim, I googled "Davy Crockett food" and turned up this recipe for "Davy Crockett's B'ars" on food.com.

Quite simple to make and using ingredients you most likely have on your shelf right now, these 'b'ars' won't last long--the perfect fuel for your wilderness explorer.
