How do you make your trail mix?

[DWGal210]

Good morning!

We are staying at Lake Geneva, WI this weekend for my niece's 1st birthday & I am bringing snacks. Among other things, I thought some gallon bags of trail mix would be easy & yummy. I want to make it (versus buying already made) so I would like to know: what do you put in trail mix? I was thinking m&ms, raisins, peanuts, goldfish crackers... Anything else??

Thanks!!

We do almonds, cashews, peanut m&ms, raisins, dried cranberries, and peanut butter chips or dried mango or pineapple bits (last ingredient varies based on my kids wishes at the moment.

Made it once for a field trip:

Graham Cracker cereal, peanuts, M&M's, raisins and pretzels.

Savory: cheerios, fish crackers, raisins, peanuts, pretzles

Sweet: Kix cereal, M&Ms, craisins, teddy grahams

Are these snacks for older party goers? I wouldn't include nuts, m&m's, or raisins into a mix for 1 year olds.

Good ideas, thanks!! I esp like the sweet & savory idea!!

To answer a question - the mix is for the adults. There will be 3 tong ones there, but their parents are bringing their kid-friendly snacks. These are so the adults have something to munch on.

Ok, I meant to say "little ones"..,, not sure how the fill-in feature came up with "tong!".

one third M&M's, one third Hersheys Kisses, one third dark chocolate covered pretzels.

..at least thats what DW likes.

I buy peanuts, m&ms, raisins (or sometime chocolate covered raisins instead of the m&ms), almonds, cashews, shelled sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, dried bananna chips and dried apple chips. Then I let everyone mix in what they like.
