Anyone have a recipe for one. I've been looking around and this is all I've found:

If you make your own and don't mind, can you pass the recipe along.

Thanks.

My physician (who is also an Ironman) uses this concoction though when I tried it I couldnt' get the consistency to anything like a gel:
cocoa butter and honey in equal parts; add espresso.

The more I looked into this, the more I realized it wasn't worth it.   After all the time, effort, and ingredient cost, you probably come out behind.   Then you still have to do the dishes

I was beginning to think that actually. I'm going out now to buy some gu.

I've used this in the past - not too hard after the first time through...

Hey there

I have looked for a few recipe's myself here’s what I've found and made, works well and is cost effective.

Going to try a shot of espresso coffee in the next batch.
