Just found this:
Matt Food
1 oz of peanut butter/person/day (we measure it out in a BIG bowl on a food scale)
Honey, to taste
Powdered Milk, to taste
Oats (old fashioned, not Quick Cooking oats if possible), to taste and consistency preference
I did a google search and after a bit of looking I found this posted by Camp Menogyn. I think that is where my friend that made it went in high school.

i did a menogyn trip as my first trip. i also was wondering what it was called and how to make it, as i could not remember.
we had mat food put on chunks of bulk chocolate as a desert at lunch. like a reese's pieces, it was awesome.

I went to the BWCA with some friends a long time ago. The one that was in charge of food had this recipe she called Mat Food. It was a long time ago but I remeber it being made with peanut butter and some kind of oats or something. It was like a brick of peanut butter and other stuff. Does anybody know what this could be. I'm interested in how it was made.
Any thoughts?

This sounds similar to what we call " energy balls". It is made with natural peanut butter,chocolate chips, and cracker meal. Goooood!!!!

Sounds kind of like the concept of Hudson Bay Bread, that isn't really bread but a kind of home made calorie dense energy bar type food. It's delicious and travels well. I think it originated with the Boy Scouts and there are recipes on the internet that can be modified to your own taste. There is even a thread here somewhere with recipes and suggestions. It's worth trying if you haven't.

Just scroll down a little further on the website and they show all the models and prices.
