I take a large flour tortilla. Cover it edge to edge with peanut butter. I then put a thin layer of grape jelly edge to edge. I then roll it up with a Slim Jim type meat stick rolled up inside. These can be cut in half and they are easy to eat plus they are tough inside a pack. Protein powder can be sprinkled on the peanut butter before rolling to amp up the benefits

Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

The honey would I think give you more than the jelly and adding the corn flour “masa harina” added a lot of protein and long term energy. I think I found the recipe on a backpacking sight. You might give it a try.

I like to keep it real simple. I buy bags of unsalted, mixed nuts at Costco. Put a handful in a ziploc bag and I'm good for all day

1 cup peanut butter or almond butter. I often mix the two 2 cups quick/rolled oats 1/2 can unsweetened coconut milk 1-2 big globs of honey 1/2 cup dried blueberries From that point you can add protein powder, chia seed, peanuts almond, choc chip, etc..
Mix it all together and put into a pan and spread out to about 1/2-3/4" thick. Place in frig and cut up into squares. I always have a batch in the frig and carry it during all hunts, hikes, and to work.

. . . I don’t remember the exact recipe but it is a mixture of peanut butter, corn flour and honey. . . . The "classic recipe " moose goop from the backpacker troops is 2 parts honey 2 parts corn flour 1 part peanut butter Peanut butter in general is a good food for a walk/hike in trip, along with gorp

Moose goo references caught my eye. I came across it here several years ago: http://www.ultralightbackpacker.com/moosegoo.htmlHe has some other good variations. I did moose goo for lunch on most of a week-long trip with boy scouts around 10 or 12 years ago. I decided I needed more variety, but it's a good snack. My kids like it more than me.

I toast rolled oats as a base and melt low sugar dark cholate into it. Add dates and walnuts, or whatever dried fruit and nuts you like into it and spoon it out in bite size pieces to cool. You will have to keep it in a plastic bag because the cholate will be messy otherwise. I don't want to eat the chemicals and junk in most processed mixes or meat products.
A block of cheese is also a good high calorie source.

We took Fritos covered in peanut butter one year for the calorie to ounce factor. Ate them all before we got there.

I buy Costco dates and the big cans of peanuts. Carry a zip lock bag of each and eat them together. Essentially Larabars without buying Larabars.
