Cross-country Trail Mix

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried pineapple, chunks
• 1 cup dried apricot halves, snipped
• 1 cup dried apple ring, bite-size pieces
• 1 cup craisins
• 1 cup chocolate chips or 1 cup chocolate-covered raisins
• 1/2 cup dried cherries or 1/2 cup dried blueberries
• 1/4 cup golden raisin

Recipe

• 1 dump everything into a one-gallon ziplock bag.
• 2 hide it from the kids (bury deeply in the cooler or your suitcase).
• 3 save it for the return trip.
• 4 serving suggestion: plan ahead and put about 1/4 to a 1/2 cup into a snack-size zippered baggie for each child to have in the car.
• 5 leftovers (hahaha): this is great to add to cold granola cereal or hot oatmeal, too.
• 6 alternatives: any dried fruit that you like, "leftover" holiday candy (hahaha), also nuts and berries. banana chips & papaya have not gone over well with our family.
