Well, there is the Dead Duke Bar. Known for John "the Duke" Wayne. It's made by soldiers from scavenged MRE parts and... well, I never put anything loving into these when I prepared them in the field... in fact, the required stream of invective's was... well, let's just say best left un-uttered save for the need to make one of these cookies, out in the field, with a bunch of GI's... preferably surrounded by the enemy hordes.

Edit: MRE, Meal Ready to Eat... not MRI... where was my brain? Oh, and I am looking up the recipe, while no love is required, it really is sort of cool... ok, from memory:

Take one sugar packet, one creamer packet and one coffee packet. Put all three into one packet (the one with foil inside is best) and mix it the best you can. Apply the torch of doom to the packet! No, I am serious, basically cook/burn the packet.

When done, peel as much of the surviving paper you can off of the packet (It's not hard, actually) and... enjoy. It's basically a sort of cookie which, in the field, is a treat, but at any other time in your life would be dreadful.

@Gnarloc about like Ranger Pudding. Take the cocoa beverage pouch, and put in the coffee, sugar, creamer, and enough cold water (the colder the better) to your perferred consistancy. I find about as thick as brownie batter is best. Add peanut butter if you like. Mix up well. Great energy wake up meal and fairly filling, awesome if you had to move out quick.

@Surchin I am wracking my brains... I don't remember if we did, or did not, have cocoa powder... if we did, I'd've included it in the Dead Duke bars... and I don't recall it being in there at all! Granted, sugar, flower, and flavor are al that is needed for that 'cookie'.. )

Oh, I didn't mention it before but I started with the Betty Crocker recipe and then modified based on an interview that my wife saw. In that interview the dietitian basically stated that you could cut fat and sugar in all recipes by 75%.

I refrained from cutting by 75% here because I see butter as flavor, lard as NOT. And half of the butter (give or take) was Crisco/lard). Half of the sugar (give or take) was brown sugar which has flavor by way of molasses. SO, I cut the white sugar down by half, then FURTHER cut that in half with Splenda/Sugar.

This way my way of trying to keep the flavor while reducing the fat.

I would have except I couldn't afford any m&ms

@LadyAlyxandrea I could send M&Ms from UK?

@Amisja But it's my understanding that the British use imperial M&M units. That might not work with an American recipe.
