This version of Trail Mix comes courtesy of my Aunt Lynne. While it does not include the traditional ingredients, it is still a superb snack for those road trips and hikes.

All the quantities listed on the recipe card are approximate so you can adapt the ingredients to your liking. Or you can even substitute some for your favorite ingredients (my wife likes to add chocolate. what a shocker).
