Ingredients
  

Nutty Base
  • 2 cups almonds roasted
  • 1 cup cashews unsalted
Sweet Mix-Ins
  • 1 2 cup dried cranberries sweetened
  • 1 2 cup raisins seedless
  • 1 3 cup dark chocolate chips optional
Crunchy Extras
  • 1 2 cup pretzel pieces adds crunch
  • 1 4 cup pumpkin seeds optional
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups
  • Spoon
  • Tray
  • Freezer
  • Storage Containers

Method
 

  1. Add almonds, cashews, dried cranberries, and raisins into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Stir in chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, pumpkin seeds, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. Toss the mixture gently to distribute crunchy and chewy textures throughout every scoop.
  4. Spread trail mix briefly on a tray if you prefer extra crisp texture before storing.
  5. Serve immediately or portion into containers for easy grab-and-go snacking during busy days.

Notes

For crisp texture, keep trail mix in airtight containers away from moisture. Chill chocolate pieces briefly during warmer weather to prevent melting. Freeze portions for longer freshness without affecting crunch. Handle gently while mixing to avoid crushed nuts. Customize flavors with coconut flakes, banana chips, or sunflower seeds. Store sealed for two weeks.
