On a recent trip, Brian T., appeared with the following "Trail Brownies" recipe. On that trip, the brownies made their appearance in the form of my birthday cake with a match as a candle.
No-cook Trail Brownies
Serves 4 - 8
In a quart freezer bag put:
1 package graham crackers, reduced to crumbs.
1/4 cup broken pecans (toast them first for best results) (optional)
2 Tbsp powered sugar.
In another bag put:
3 oz (about 3/4 cup) chocolate chips and
3 Tbsp powered milk
In camp: Add 1/4 cup water to the chocolate. Bring a pot of water to boil and dip the bag to melt the chocolate (the higher-quality the chocolate, the better it melts and the better it tastes). When melted, add the graham cracker crumbs and knead to mix thoroughly. How you eat it is up to you. You can let it cool and break it into chunks.
Tips: Use mini morsels, which tend to melt faster than regular chocolate chips and take up less space in your food bag. Use about 3/4 of a cup of "minis" because more mini morsels fit into a cup than bigger chips. If you add too much chocolate it tends not to harden completely.
Best,
Robert
