The Ultimate Campfire Trail Mix Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup dried apricots
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup pretzels
- 1/4 cup coconut flakes
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
- Prep the Nuts: Toast the almonds, cashews, and sunflower seeds in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook them until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them!
- Combine the Mix-ins: In a large bowl, combine the toasted nuts, dried cranberries, apricots, chocolate chips, pretzels, and coconut flakes.
- Sweeten and Spice: Drizzle the honey over the mixture and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Toss to Coat: Toss everything together until the honey and cinnamon are evenly distributed.
- Chill and Enjoy: Let the trail mix cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. This will help the honey set and prevent the chocolate from melting.
Tips:
- Customize: Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate.
- Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick.
- Energy Boost: Add a tablespoon of chia or flax seeds to boost protein and fiber.

Sounds great. I can’t eat the apricots. If I left them out would it make a huge difference?
Absolutely not. You can dismiss the Apricots and add something else you can eat. This recipe is flexible, to your own taste. That was a great question, thanks for reaching out.
