The Joys of Trail Mix...

Trail Mix is a beautiful thing. In our family it is almost considered a staple.  Packed full of protein, crunch and, of course, chocolate.  It is great for Husband in his lunch since his job by its very nature requires a lot of energy.  We love it for hiking, for skiing (it won't even freeze!) and try to not let it be just a daily snack.  

This is a batch I made up the other day (the Pretzel M&Ms were on sale + I had a great coupon for them.)  It is never really the same from time to time, but this time it included:

M&Ms

Light Popcorn

Rice Chex Mix Cereal

Raisins

Craisins

Lightly salted peanuts

Cheerios 

And I just had to show this....taken from our wedding.  I filled a HUGE tub of whatever I could find - a bunch of different kinds of cereals, a few different types of M&Ms, pretzels, raisins, peanuts, cashews (we went all out!) - and it was the after-dinner snack for our 150 wedding guests (plus a center decoration.)  People still talk about it (or how they got to go home with a jar of it themselves.)
