Such a nice, simple recipe for on the go trips.

Awe I didn’t know it was trail mix day. Will have to remember for next year

My son loves trail mix!
This sounds great, although I’m not a big fan of peanuts. I’m sure that you’re recipe would just as good
with cashews in place of peanuts and maybe the one of those newfangled candy drops like almond joy,etc.
Thanks for sharing I’m sure I will be making this soon
This looks tasty
I missed trail mix day- we love making our own trail mixes, this looks like a winner we can add to our collection.
In Girl Scouts, we call this GORP…Good Old Raisins and Peanuts
We’ve been making variations of this since our Girl Scout days. Now I often take it to work with me as an easy mid-morning or afternoon snack.

Thanks for the great, easy recipe! It would be perfect for our traditional Labor Day Barbecue. Plus, it is so easy that my kids can help!
SO easy and so so yummy too! Now if I could just stop the kids from picking out the M&M’s!
Thank you for the trail mix recipe. Making it yourself lets you decide the increments of ingredients and you know it’s fresh!
My kids love Trail Mix. We usually add raisins to ours also.
I love trail mix! A great snack for a quick Pick Me Up at work. Also great for the kids!
My kids love making trail mix and coming up with new combos…their current fav is similar to this one, but with dried bananas instead of m&m’s
This recipe looks easy enough for me. Thanks :0)
First of all, I love trail mix! it’s such a healthy & delicious snack! I didn’t know you could make it yourself, Well i figured you could but I didn’t think it could be that easy! Thanks so much for sharing. This is great with back to school time!
This does sound tasty! Thank you for sharing.
we do something like this also, I like to add some pretzels and sometimes a little bit of coconut flakes
Yum! My kids love trail mix. I think it will be cheaper to make myself than buy already made, that way you can add and delete what ever you want.
Thank you for all your comments & for the add-ins. We are going to try them!
It’s so hard to find healthy snacks that the kids will actually eat! This looks great.
