DEB'S PCT GRANOLA TRAIL MIX

Deb's PCT Granola Trail Mix image

I wanted a great trail mix without all the preservatives of the commercial products, at a lower cost, that was shelf-stable as I was going to have to live off of re-supply packages for about 6 months. I incorporated pumpkin seeds, coconut, and semisweet chocolate for extra boosts of energy!
