What is your favorite backpacking snack??? Jellybeans!

Everyone has their goto snack on the trail. I normally have a snack pack made up for everyday I am on the trail. That way I don't over eat one day and it also keeps me from contaminating my food supply. I like to have beef jerky, a couple of fireball jawbreakers, two pieces of peppermint gum and Starburst Jellybeans in my snack pouch. The Jellybeans are my goto snack on the trail and give you that extra burst of energy when you really need to get over that next ridge. They hold up well to the heat of the day and make your mouth water. All good things when you are on the trail. I save my Munch Bars for after lunch or dinner for desert. This combination of trail snacks keeps you focused on the trail and not on your stomach. So that is my goto snack; what is yours?

The Munch Bar-- A Great Trail Treat!

The Munch Bar made by Mars actually markets it using its wholesomeness as a selling point. I like it because it’s sturdy. You can expose it to higher temperatures without it losing its shape and taste.

The candy part of the bar is sweet and crunchy, not quite toffee and more solid than the usually slightly foamy peanut brittle candy. It’s buttery and has a light salty hit. The peanut flavor is, of course, the attraction. I love peanuts. There are 6 grams of protein in this bar, and at less than 1.5 ounces, that’s a lot of protein which makes it quite filling and satisfying. Although it is not a Chunky Bar, it is one of the best candy bars for backpacking. Save some weight and repackage your supply into a zip lock bag.
