Many of us are using this time indoors to try new things, like rock climbing on kitchen cabinetry or testing out a complicated dinner recipe. It's fun, rewarding, and it most certainly occupies a large chunk of time (something that feels as though it's passing slower and slower these days).
In the backcountry, successfully executing a new recipe from the NOLS Cookery after a 10-mile trek over a mountain pass can make you feel like you're invincible. Hand over that spice kit and spatula—there's a pro in the cook group now.
While there is an immense sense of pride that comes with successfully cooking Michelin Star-rated meals in the remote wilderness, sometimes you need balance. We're talking sweet and simple Chewy Fudge No-Bake Cookie balance.
It's an easy, rich, and divine recipe perfect for snacking on after dinner or as fuel during a mid-hike break. It can also be made from the comfort of your own kitchen after you're done free-soloing the granite countertops.
