Notes From Recipe Submitter:
This is one of my favorite camping recipes! For anyone who backpacks or does wilderness camping, this makes for a super easy, lightweight mix that is super delicious and gives you lots of energy for the day's hike. (Just mix in powdered milk into the couscous and pack the mixture in a ziplock bag to go.) This is also great with other easy to make grains like bulgur wheat.
In Tunisia, sweet couscous is called mesfouf and mixed with nuts, dates and spices for breakfast, or in Morocco it's a dessert called seffa and served with orange blossom water.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank HollywoodBacon for this recipe.

I really liked this recipe. I added shredded coconut flakes and a little pumpkin pie spice. Next time I'll add chopped apple in it too. Yummy!
