Seattle's Best Trail Mix: the DinnerDivide Winner for National Trail Mix Day

Yield 6 servings

Here’s the recipe + where to find each ingredient available on Nuts.com.  And by the way, while you’re on Nuts.com, play around.  It is a super fun site with tons of options for snacking and stocking up on healthy foods.  It will be my next go-to, especially when I’m looking for something special.

Even my youngest (yes, the three year-old) was able to animatedly explain how much he liked the smoked sea salt almonds thrown into the mix.  Specifically, he liked the way the residual smoky salt clung to the dark chocolate couverture of the dried Washington cherries.  —his words.  This was all taking place, by the way, during a particularly enticing episode of Chuggington.

Ingredients

1 cup dried cherries

1 cup toasted hazelnuts*

3/4 cup smoked sea salt almonds

3/4 cup dark chocolate-covered cherries, quartered or cut in half if big

1/2 cup dark chocolate-covered espresso beans

1/4 cup cacao nibs

Instructions

Combine in a bag or bowl and keep cool.  Eat often & enjoy!

Don't forget to store in a cool, dry place.

Notes

*I prefer to buy my nuts raw in bulk and toast them in large batches at home.  I find that this is more cost-effective.  Simply preheat your oven for 350 degrees F, spread out the nuts onto a baking sheet and roast/toast for 7 minutes, 4 minutes for seeds like sunflower and pumpkin.
