There's always buttery goodness:

"Buttery, creamy, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth, wonderful, goodness…

It doesn’t get old, even after eating it regularly for 10 months. 10,000 calories can fit in a gallon-size ziploc. It lasts for weeks of hiking (at least in Alaska’s climate). Eating just a handful, you can consume an amazing number of calories in a very short space of time. And like all perfect foods, it packs as many calories as possible into a tiny weight and space. Don’t you want some buttery goodness?

Buttery Goodness Recipe:

4 pounds butter (salted)

1 canister regular oats (2lbs, 10oz)

1 ½ pounds brown sugar

Half a spice jar of cinnamon (less if fresh-grated, more if the jar’s really old)

Mash up butter, then mash in oats, then mash in sugar and cinnamon. Fingers work best, utensils can be used if you’re more couth than me. Don’t let the butter melt. If you like, add extras like dried fruit or nuts. Divide mixture into 2 gallon ziplocs. Keep cool. Makes about 4 person-days of food, if the person’s days involve many hours of physical labor."

And some guy recommends grinding up shortbread cookies and filling you bear canister with that.
