Expiration dates are a scam. Perhaps your question calls for some experimentaion!

They seem to last forever, but the older they get, the more determined you have to be to eat it.

Freeze them?
I've eaten some pretty old bars (a year or so out of date). I would not do it again.

I'm not sure I'd know and expired energy bar if I tasted one. Maybe if it tasted good I'd know something was wrong.
