Summary
This is a recipe that is lightweight and high calorie for long, strenuous hikes.
Recipe
The ingredients are packages I found in the local grocery store, YMMV. The "cal/serving" was listed on the package, the rest are calculated.
A "bag" is the total amount of gorp in one recipe.
Note: Assuming that 1000 calories (about 200g) is enough for one hike, this will make enough for about 16 hikes.

Note: If you're on a diet, don't make this! According to google, a plain donut has a calorie density of 424 calories/100g. This gorp has a calorie density of 510 calories/100g. And, if you eat 1 scoopful, it's tasty and so you'll eat another and then another. Hard to stop.
Note: It has nuts, and so if you're allergic to them, don't make this.
