A Tale of Two Trail Mix Recipes

My husband eats a lot and likes to have healthy snacks available.  Several years ago I found these two trail mix recipes in Food Network Magazine.  He loved both of them!  Even the grandkids love them.  My 3-year old granddaughter, Ivy, has been asking for “papa’s trail mix”.  She eats every bite of it!

When you make these or any trail mix recipes, keep in mind that you change them around to your heart’s content and they will be just as good.  You almost can’t go wrong!

Almond Lover’s Trail Mix

• 1 cup cocoa dusted almonds
• 1 cup dry-roasted almonds
• 1 cup pitted dried dates, chopped
• 1 cup raisins (golden or regular)
• 1 cup prunes, chopped
• 1 cup dried apricots, chopped

Combine the ingredients in a large bowl.  Store in an airtight container.

NOTE:  I just made this the other day and I added Craisins and granola cereal.

Huckleberry Trail Mix

• 1 pound (4 cups) cashews
