Stoat Bars???? Don't know what you are talking about Toddy I'm afraid.The Stoat's bars are very good. They seem to last too....well, if you forget where you planked one or two
I can recommend the Eat Natural bars, my standby for work and play until Costco stopped selling them. They do an assorted box incl. a yoghurt&nuts bar, and a peanut & chocolate box. I find the peanut one more filling if I need protein but used to carry both because they travel well. Will melt of course if very hot, but perfectly edible after cooling down.
My other go to is Nature Valley bars, again boxes mixed flavours from Costco. These are more a biscuit type, harder and drier than Eat Natural, travel very well, high energy, tend not to break in the packet, higher sugar and you need water after, but have a problem resisting them. Av 200 odd calories a packet (2 flat bars/packet).

Very good, if you like oats, you really do need to like oats
Nice range though, and very tasty. Not at all cardboard or chipboard like
They deliver too
come in boxes that go through the letter box 
Their variety packs come in different bar sizes, and you get a really nice selection to try the range.
I love oats but most oat bars are made with a lot of either bad fats or bad sugar levels, sometimes both.
Stoats don't seem to say what their ingredients are, or the calories/dietary % breakdown. I wouldn't buy for that reason.
I'm trying to come up with a homebake version but it's not easy to avoid the same problem.

Maybe not quite what you're after but these are the bars I have been using as my start to the day when trekking. Whether I'm walking, canoeing, or in a vehicle, I prefer to have a quick energy fix and a strong fresh coffee, get going early, then stop a bit later in the morning. What I'm looking for is carbs, not proteins. There are six different flavours, including various berries. Each bar is individually seal packed and the UBD on the packs I bought last week are 15th December 25. In the sealed packets I would expect them to last a lot longer than that. The berry ones are suitable for vegans. They are variously priced but typically about 50p a bar (sold in packs of 5). What's more, they taste nice and have a good 'soft cookie' like texture.

They do limited edition bars that contain nuts, but they do not do peanuts at all.
They also don't use rapeseed or palm oils and no emulsifiers or gums.
Well well, still cannot find that reference but glad you found it. 22% fat and also 22% sugar is too high for my preference but seems to be pretty much the norm for this type of product. Pays yer money and takes yer choice.
Strangely, I did find same picture on a different page which has slightly different contents and numbers, describes it as Raspberry Wholegrain Oatbar, not Raspberry and Honey, presumably that's a picture error, and sadly, it includes rapeseed oil as the second largest ingredient:
Wholegrain OATS (48%), rapeseed oil, soluble tapioca fibre, oligofructose, sultanas (sultanas, sunflower oil), golden syrup, unsalted butter (MILK), sunflower seeds, soft light brown sugar, pumpkin seeds, humectant: glycerol (rapeseed), freeze-dried raspberry pieces (1.3%), natural flavourings (MILK) and colour: plain caramel.

Yeah - literally in my first post - lol!
I get all you need is the two ingredients but I'd just looking for something commercially made and packed in foil so it keeps well - Yes Pemmican can last for many years in grease proof paper but it definitely is more a survival ration.
I'm just looking for something in the 2-5 year range that will still taste good, deliver a good whack of calories and can be just kept in the car or top of bergen for any of those times i may get cut short. Nibbling on some beef granules soaked in tallow fat maybe hard core and leaning into the Pioneer larping lifestyle but not something I want to embrace fully.
I make those. I chop everything up with a knife first and then blend in small quantities with a hand blender. Then mix together. If it’s too wet after adding water you can roll them in oats which also stops them sticking to your hands and whatever you put them in.
I freeze them and they last for ages.
How about a foil bag of mixed roast nuts and raisins?
So long as it's a reputable brand and unopened, should keep for ages.
(I would recommend being more careful of baked goods made with oils or including seeds as they can go a bit rancid over time. DAMHIKT
)If you're careful then a lot of things go over their best before dates and are perfectly good.
The more processed it is, then typically the longer it will last.......
How about little sachets of olives in olive oil (Crespo brand, most supermarkets do them), they have a good shelf-life, a nice alternative if you want something savory rather than sweet, and they do a few different varieties. They are still OK even when past the use-by date in my experience.
On the savory note, pepperami also last well and again beyond the date. They also have a variety of flavours these days.
