Moose Goo

“I just made a batch of Ultralight Joe's Moose Goo. I haven't had that in a long time...yummy. I did get a tip to add Nutella to it along with the peanut butter.

for those that don't have it here is the recipe

Ultralight Joe's Moose Goo
NOTE: If you pass this around to your friends, I have but one request - please refer to it as "Ultralight Joe's Moose Goo". Since I run this site anonymously, it's not an ego thing. I just get a kick out of hearing it mentioned on the trail, let's me know I'm contributing to my fellow trekkers. A simple pleasure, perhaps, but I take what I can get. :-) Thanks!

Basic Recipe:
2 parts honey
2 parts corn flour (NOT corn meal! I plan to try sweet rice flour soon.)
1 part peanut butter (preservative-laden)
Mix thoroughly, will take some time.
Pack into Coghlan's Squeeze Tube (REI, Campmor, etc), or in cold weather wrap in wax paper.
Single Squeeze Tube Proportions (2-3 lunches w/ large tortillas):
8 tbsp honey
8 tbsp corn flour
4 tbsp peanut butter
Per tube:
1320 calories
172g carbs (70 simple, 102 complex)
24g protein
38g fat (That's a high proportion of fat, but what the heck...)
BEWARE! Below 40F, Ultralight Joe's Moose Goo becomes impossible to squeeze out! I open the tube from the back and spoon it out when that happens. For snow camping I pack it in wax paper instead, eat it like a candy bar, or pre-pack it into tortillas.”

“I've made that before, good stuff!!”

“What if you left out the flour for temperatures under 40?”

It wouldn't make a difference. The problem is the honey and peanut butter get too solid at that point.

I like spreading the moose goo between two corn tortillas. The stuff definitely helped get my energy level back up in the middle of the Devil's Path dayhike a couple years back.”

“Hmmm.... sounds yummy, but a little heavy. I'll have to try it sometime.

Mmmmmm... Nutella.”

“Our local grocery now carried 2 flavored peanut butters; one with bittersweet dark chocolate blended in, another with cinnamon and raisins blended in. I picked up some of the cinnamon kind, but haven't tried it yet.”

“I made some Moose Goo. Honestly, the stuff made me gag. Waaaaaay too thick and sweet. I might have made it wrong.

The flavored peanut butter sounds good though.”

“I once put pb in the freezer for a day. I don't recall it being all that hard. I tried to find the FP of PB but faied*. ikewise*, I'm thinking Honey woud* be OK.Might freeze a mix and see what happens

“Treebait, was it this brand






I want to try this flavor
Our all natural peanut butter blended with fiery spices. Great to cook with, this peanut butter will really wake up your taste buds!

”

“Yep, that's the brand but they didn't have the spicy kind. That sounds really good.”

“Love moose goo, I haven't made it in a while, either.”
