Trail Mix was originally intended to be a handy snack that did not require a cooler and would not spoil when you were out on the trail. Most of us are not going to be out on the trail. If you are, or if the mix will be sitting out where it’s hot, do not use chocolate or peanut butter chips or you’ll have a gooey mess!
Otherwise, you are only limited by your imagination. Here are a few combinations to get your creative juices flowing –
Peanuts
Cashews
Macadamia nuts
Raisins
Craisins
M&Ms
White Chocolate chips
Peanut butter chips
Dried pineapple, cut small
Dried banana – cut small
Apple Chips (dried apple) cut small
Toffee chips
Coconut
For parties, scoop into little disposable nut cups, or even dixie cups.
