I don't like nuts so I just take chocolate raisins.
Good mix of fat and carbs with a little protein as well.

Be wary of nuts. I used to chuck everything from the bottoms of dried fruit and nut jars left over from Christmas baking into a ziplock bag at the beginning of the season, leave it in the pack and top it up from time to time. I found out the hard way that nuts can go off and give you the runs at the most inconvenient times.
I've been off GORP ever since, which is a shame as I used to enjoy the complete lack of recipe and the random result as different things settled to the bottom of the bag. No handful ever tasted the same as the preceding one. I remember that cooking chocolate chips were good in the mix.
Perhaps the recipes on this thread will inspire me to give GORP another try.

I know it is not really a GORP mix but on exercises or tour this little recipe certainly gives me energy and a smiles on my face, a different texture and taste with each a mouthful.
The mix is 1 bag of fruit pastilles
1 packet of biscuits brown broken up.
1 packet of boiled sweets loose (out of any wrappers)
1 oatmeal block broken
possible added extras:
1 bag of jelly babies
1 bag of your favorite haribo
1 bag of american hard gums
1 bag of fruit gems
some garibaldi biscuits
some ginger nut biscuits
etc
I think you get the idea I have a sweet tooth or two

Humbugs and or Mintos, then kitkat bars, @250 calories a bar IIRC Can't eat nuts anymore, lethal stuff if you are prone to gout.

I made a batch of 'Kitchen drawer surprise' munch last night, went for fruit and nut chocolate on steroids. Not quite Gorp but then anything with sweet and nuts is good for me.
2 bars of melted dark chocolate
Liberal handfuls of pistachios, cashews and almond flakes, sesame, pumpkin and poppy seeds
A handful of swiss muesli and dried banana with sultanas.
Honey and cinnamon to flavour.
Not all of it made it from the kitchen to my pack

Whatever your recipe (mix) is it can be improved by a generous seasoning with cayenne pepper or Cajun seasoning.
Something I've not made in years but tastes really good. Melt a couple of chocolate bars and mix in raisins, muesli and crushed walnuts.
A large bar of choc melted mix in a digestive biscuit or two crushed large tablespoon of butter add raisins nuts or whatever turn out into a buttered takeaway tub put in fridge to cool. Cut into chunks... I've substituted the raisins with gin soaked sloes which was amazing!! ( actually I've given at Christmas and has been well received) d
