Trail mix has long been regarded as a great on-the-go snack—it’s filling, easy to transport, and delicious. Sometimes, though, the store-bought versions use saccharine dried fruits or over-salted nuts. The best part about DIY trail mix? You can tailor it to your taste buds, picking your favorite ingredients and types of nuts, granola, sweets, and more, for a unique combination you know you’ll love. Quantities are not really critical – usually more cereal than sweet, but how is looking?
Ingredients:
- cinnamon
- sea salt
- mini marshmallows
- salted roasted almonds
- chocolate chips
- graham cracker cereal
Directions:
- First, add a dash of cinnamon and sea salt in a container.
- Add mini marshmallows and shake to mix.
- Next, throw in salted, roasted almonds and your favorite kind of chocolate chips.
- Rather than break up graham crackers, try topping your mixture with a cereal version of graham crackers (we used cinnamon squares), which is less likely to crumble.
- Put a lid on the container and shake it up to mix well.
- Enjoy this addictive snack on the trail or at camp, or back home, tote it along to work or while out running errands. You’ll get a boost from satisfying your salty and sweet cravings.
