Quick & Easy

Oregon Trail Mix

Transcend good ol' raisins and peanuts. And if you want to try a trail less traveled, here's a handy formula: 2 cups nuts, 1 cup crunch (seeds or grains or cereal), 1 cup dried fruit, 1 cup surprise, such as cacao nibs, candied ginger, or edible gold flakes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup hazelnuts
  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup pepitas
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks

Directions:

  • Toast nuts on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet in a 350ºF oven for 8 to 15 minutes, tossing at least once, or in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, tossing frequently, until fragrant and one shade darker.
  • Mix to combine.
