Backcountry Kitchen: Irish Cream and Hot Chocolate
Jump to Comments
My backpacking pal Wild Bill always brings big bars of dark chocolate and shares them at lunch and dinner. He claims it is good you. Full of anti-oxidants. I’m not sure about that, but I am sure it tastes great. Sound good? Well I’ve got something better.
Mix Hershey’s Good Night Kisses Hot Chocolate (99.9% decaf) with Bailey’s Irish Cream liquer and you’ll be in wilderness heaven. As I recall you get five individual packages in a box.
The secret: mix the exact amount of water suggested on the package and then liberally add the Baileys.
You’ll sleep like a baby.
Eat well. Be light. Be safe. Be one with the pack.

Those are both good-looking recipes. It’s been decades since I took alcohol into the woods (ever since I could buy it myself), but that sounds like a good reason to do it again.

Mike,
Like you, I didn’t take alcohol with me until my current two backpacking pals joined me. They reasoned that since we like a little wine at home (we do live in California wine country), then why don’t enjoy some at night. Luckily we have one guy who doesn’t mind carrying it.
