The original idea for this recipe came from Rachel Ray. LOVE LOVE this snack. It is great to take with you where ever, hikes, long trips, in your desk, or even as a snack when the kids come home from school. Substitute any dried fruit and/or change the nuts to suit your taste. You can even change it around and just make it into granola.
