Party Sized Trail Mix Recipe

We go through a lot of trail mix in our house; probably because we like to hike and it's an easy snack to pack for hitting the trails.  We used to purchase pre-made trail mix but I realized I could make a double batch for just about the same price.  It's so easy and tasty!



Ingredients:
2 cups Whole Almonds
1 9.6 ounce bag caramel M&M's
1 9.6 ounce bag peanut butter M&M's
10 ounces raisins
1 16 ounce jar honey roasted peanuts
1 lb whole cashews (or pieces)
16 ounces cocktail peanuts

I just dump all the ingredients in a giant bowl and mix together!  Soo easy!




And I love that I can mix up the ingredients anytime I want.  We've tried craisins with dark and white chocolate baking chips.

We've mixed up the flavor of M&M's too and haven't found one yet that we don't like.

I divide the giant batch into two zippered storage bags and pop them in the pantry.  I've toyed with dividing them up into single serving sized containers but haven't yet.

I do have to warn you this is not Weight Watcher's friendly but it really does hit the spot when you want something salty and sweet at the same time.

    1. OH yeah, that would be a great way to still enjoy it and ensure you can safely eat what goes into it.
