My kiddo loves putting chocolate icing between graham crackers. Lots of calories and yummy too. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

DS likes peanuts; however we have to limit the amount due to digestive issues. He tends to OD on them, so his limit it two small bowls a day. He also likes pepperoni slices, nachos, aged white cheddar. I found a recipe for cookie dough dip, which he eats with graham crackers.

I like to dip carrots in guacamole for snacks. I like pita and hummus for snacks as well, but that's probably not as high calorie. I also eat a lot of pistachios.

Oh, ds also likes popcorn with different flavored cheeses. Theatre popcorn has about 900 calories a cup, so when he goes to movies, I'm constantly handing him enzymes throughout the show.

Also trail mix. If you have a trader joes near you, they make some good varieties. Otherwise can make your own -- craisins, mixed nuts, chocolate & peanut butter chips...

Probably one of the highest-calorie is peanut butter- nutella sandwich.
I also love making home-made popcorn with all sorts of different spices.
Or warm sandwiches with loads of assorted cheeses.
Have fun!

Beef jerky, almonds, protein bars(they have sooo many kinds) My daughter likes Promax bars the cookies and cream flavor. You can even get FREE protein bars if you use Creon enzymes with their CF careforward program. Oreos and whole milk.

I just got this tip from our CF center's last visit. To help boost calories without noticing it, make sure you use whole milk. To get extra calories, mix in some dry milk powder into the milk in the jug/carton, shake well and once it dissolves you don't notice any taste or texture difference, just more calories & protein too.

EVERYTHING dipped in peanut butter.

Also whip in some sugar with your peanut butter for a sweet dip for fruit or sandwiches.

That's brilliant! I'd never thought of doing that. I think I will try it. Maybe I can finally gain some weight.

not exactly the best nutrition in the world but if you mix instant pudding w/ whole milk and a package of scandi shake (vanilla) you get about 1140 calories all at once.
