GRANOLA TRAIL MIX

My family has always enjoyed this crunchy four-ingredient snack. When we go camping, each person includes one additional ingredient like mini marshmallows, corn chips or cookie pieces. The taste is never the same, and we're often surprised by the combinations. -Shelley Riddlespurger, Amarillo, Texas
