This colorful concoction is a grab bag of stand-alone snacks. Though not exactly high-class, there is something very aesthetically appealing about the bright and earthy colors contrasting in a bowl. These same items work, taste-wise, for the same reason... as the salty plays off the sweet, and vice-versa! There is no perfect recipe for trail mix, as it really depends on your personal taste. Though trail mixes often contail small chocolate pieces, dried fruits, mixed nuts, and/or some sort of crunchy bread.
My trail mix includes:
- Mini M&Ms
- Dark chocolate M&Ms
- Pretzel sticks
- Caramel popcorn
- Mini marshmallows
- Sun-dried California raisins
- Honey-roasted peanuts
Made vegetarian by removing the marshmallows. Damn cow marrow. *shudder*
