    Coffee;)

    Seriously though, I use popcorn along with whatever I have. You can buy frosting to top it off too. Use some type of attractant like liquid smoke or use the scent from northwoods bearbaits.
    If you use fryer grease just make sure that it is from French fries and no meat. Some grease gets mixed in with other things and if any residue from meaty show in a test you can be busted by the CO.

    Go to the feed store and pick up a 5 gallon bucket of molasses. I don't know how much they cost around you but here it is only $18 and goes a long ways.

    frosting and pb. and I wouldnt put that all out at once I would do maybe 50lbs a week with some pb and frosting. just to make it last and get them to come in more often if you can bait more I would as long as this spot is going to be your bear spot

    Inow that I open the bags all it is is the flour that you make donuts with.. I have a big pan I boil traps in ill put some fryer grease in there and just make giant donuts then pour some jelly and frosting over the blocks.

    I usually use popcorn or cheerios with melted marshmellows poured over them and mixed together. Works great.
