If you are like me, you are always looking for snacks to bring for those long road trips. This trip I decided to make Lynne’s Bits & Pieces (aka Trail Mix)
Sure you can buy a bunch of stuff at the grocery store but why not make your own Homemade Trail Mix?
Typically trail mix includes granola, dried fruit, nuts, and sometimes even chocolate. That is according to the folks at Wikipedia
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).
