OREGON TRAIL MIX

Oregon Trail Mix image

My homemade version of a commercial trail mix. Salt free! For best flavor, make sure you use unsulphured dried fruit and be doubly sure the nuts are not rancid (taste test!).

THE BEST HOMEMADE TRAIL MIX

The Best Homemade Trail Mix image

My friend told me what she adds to her trail mix and I just eyeballed it. Your main components should be peanuts and almonds. 5This fills my 5 quart bowl to the brim, so you'll need a humongous bowl, or two large ones. You can add craisins if you want, and any dried fruit.I only used about 12 oz almonds and about 2/3 tub of raisins. My kids love this!

With nuts, raisins, M&M's and coconut, this is a super snack. In small gingham bags, it made wonderful party favors for each guest at the cowboy-theme wedding shower I hosted. This mix is a tasty treat anytime. -Sandra Thorn, Sonora, California
