Do your children tend to eat only one part of the trail mix and leave you the rest? Yeah, mine, too. I read this line in Family Fun magazine, and was impressed with their solution. I altered the recipe a little to our tastes (Zac doesn't like cranberries, so we used plain raisins*), and added some oats because--well...I wanted to. Anyhow, try it! I think you'll like the results.
- Ingredients
-
- 3 cups nuts
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 3 cups nuts
-
-
Mix together the nuts, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, raisins, and dried cranberries or cherries. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
-
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave. Pour the chocolate over the baking sheet in ribbons. Stir to coat everything. Let the chocolate cool, then break the mix into pieces and pack it in individual containers. Makes 12 servings.
