Rather than write a small review for each individual item I recently purchased I thought I would share it all in one concise review. (Note with most Mountain House I add 2-3 oz less than it recommends)

I dont know how Mary Jane does it but everything I have of theirs is incredible. So easy to make and way to easy to eat. I brought this on a three day hike and we had it on the last night and for some, it was a highlight of the entire trip. Hot, moist brownies 3 days into a backpacking trip, who can complain. Very Good!
Not tons of sugar but pretty tasty. Be sure to follow the directions and make one packet at a time or risk burning them. Tasty and cooks on a camp stove in less than 15 minutes. you might want to have some handy oil to put on your skillet though.
What's better than chocolate when you're camping? Nothing.
These are easy to make and taste great.
