Just fantasizing about what I wanna take along for the after dinner eats. I did try a search but no gett can anybody recommend some mtn.house packed ones? or do ya order from a food co...... seems that every year I plan to take cheesecake or something else that I want...but it always gets left behind due to weight factors....this year I have an apprentice gnome/grom ....he will haul some extras.... Oh yet's brownies are a distinct possibility, from what I've heard, (no tasty them yet) so let's hear your tastiest experiences..or recipes.for desserts

No bake cookies!!! Think peanut butter, brown sugar, oats, choco chips rolled into duluctible lil nuggets. From there, anything goes...use that sponge between your ears and youd be suprised what you can create. Thats my gig atleast, the no bakes. I tried to bake a cake once on a whisperlite. Yep. Didn't work. Ended up just buring the hootenani out of heap of flour and yeast. Oh well. Pack some twinkies?

On the seventh day of the Ptarmigan Traverse, when we climbed Sinister from a camp on Dome, one of the guys stayed behind becasue he didn't like the looks of the route. At the end of the day, when we got back to camp exhausted, he fed us a cheesecake he had made. Best dessert I've had in the backcountry, but I don't know what kind of mix it was.

Dried cheesecake, available in any grocery store, is a good choice. So are Jelly Bellies, freeze-dried ice cream (YUMMO) and on a cool evening, hot jello. Jello has filling properties even though in this case, it's a hot drink.

Jello instant pudding and powdered milk in a open-mouth bottle and shake well. Chill, serve & enjoy. Yum, Yum!

I like rich desserts on the trail, but not so much at home. A few that are trail-friendly: baklava and pecan pie. Very energy-dense and no refrigeration or preparation. Here's a whole passel of recipes for bars and brownies.

One of my favorites: http://www.trailfoods.com/grancanchees.html Already single-serving packaged, and quite rich, too.

A lightweight way of doing cheesecake is to get the sugar free Jello cheesecake flavor pudding mix. Put it in a quart bag with 2/3 cup dry milk. Add 1 3/4 cups cold water and shake away for a couple minutes. Really good served in the mini graham cracker crusts (they come in 6 packs) with candy or cookies crumbled on top. Winter camping I do fudge! Heavy but very good

Anything with chocolate and peppermint...Ghiradellis, York peppermint patties, I'm not fussy!

The best, never freezes or melts, individually portioned, not sticky on your hands, and you can dangle it like a cig when you need both hands free. Plus its grapetasticly tasty. That , and Trader Joes Pound Plus chocolate bars, which are appetizing any time, and provide great energy when you bonk but are too nauseous to eat real food.
