About this deal
Some other ingredients that pop up commonly in trail mix: Shelled and salted sunflower seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, dried pineapple, Rice Chex® cereal, pecans, dried cherries, golden raisins, popcorn, pistachios, chocolate-covered pretzels, dried papaya, dates, Teddy Grahams®, mini peanut butter cups, chocolate-covered pretzels, and chocolate chunks are all popular choices. I tossed the Chex cereal, the Bugles and the pretzels with the sauce, and baked them as you’d bake regular Chex mix. It’s a big recipe. I had two cookie sheets full like in the photo below.
Other addition ideas: Include regular-sized M&M’s, sunflower seeds, chocolate-covered popcorn, dark chocolate chunks, or pecans.Trail Mix commonly includes a variety of nuts and/or seeds, dried fruits, and often, candies or chocolate. Below are the ingredients I’m using in the different recipes today. (None of the below brands I call out are sponsoring this post; they’re just what I use, love, and recommend.)
Dried cranberries: Sometimes we’ll switch it up and use cherry-juice-infused dried cranberries; both are great in Trail Mix.Sure, it’s not as healthy as cousin Sherri’s hummus, but everyone is thrilled and you get your own little bits of peanut butter and salty goodness throughout the day. #Winning!
