Organic oats, brown sugar, and a whole lotta’ love — we toured Bobo’s to see how these popular energy bars are made. Plus, we made some custom bars for ourselves!

What started with a mom baking goodies for her daughter’s school snack 15 years ago rocketed to become one of the most recognizable on-the-go treats today. Based in Boulder, Colo., Bobo’s prides itself on creating all-natural oat bars made only from ingredients anyone can pronounce.

We got a chance to visit the bakery where every Bobo’s bar goes from a bowl full of ingredients to a colorfully packaged finished product ready for store shelves. Check out our dispatch and see how we made our own custom Bobo’s x GearJunkie bars.
