Default Missing dessert?

Rocky Road is just about my favorite all time ice cream and when a girl can not have the ice cream it is a tragedy. Today on my lunch break looking up random new recipes I found this one online, enjoy! (I know I will!)

Quote:
1 3-ounce box instant chocolate pudding
2/3 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup mini marshmallows

At home: Combine the pudding and powdered milk in a zip lock bag. Carry the nuts and marshmallows in a second bag.

On the trail: Add 2 cups of water to the pudding mix. Top the pudding with the marshmallows and nuts after the pudding has set up.
Makes 2-4 servings

Instant jell-o cheesecake mixes are also great trail desserts.

The rock road mix sounds great! I'll skip the tobacco, but I'll have a finger or two of that Scotch if you're in a sharing mood.

I think I will skip the tobacco too since I quit almost two years ago but the rest looks like a good trip meal set to me. Anyone ever try some bark recipes?

Mmmmmmm, chocolate! I may have to take that along with me the next time I go camping or back packing. I have always said that fruit is my dessert, but chocolate comes in second on that list.

I take Everclear and mix it with water and gatorade powder. (Everclear makes awesome stove fuel and disinfectant)

But I'm with you on the cigar.

Everclear! that stuff is rocket fuel. Last time I drank that I was seeing dead relitives and Aztec temples. But I may have to give your recipe a try!

Everclear + gatorade = Riot Punch.

Mix your gatorade in a 20-24 oz bottle and add 1 shot of Everclear. Do NOT do this near the campfire (there is an explosion warning on the bottle for a reason). Lean back and drink. And since it's Gatorade, it's healthy
