Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Roasted salted cashews
- 1 cup Chili-lime spiced peanuts
- 1 cup Dried mango slices
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chunks
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), roasted and salted
- 0.5 cup Shelled pistachios
- 0.5 cup Cranberries, dried
- 1 teaspoon New Mexico red chile powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 2 pieces Mason jars with lids (16 oz)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted salted cashews, chili-lime spiced peanuts, dried mango slices, dark chocolate chunks, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, and dried cranberries. Mix until evenly distributed.
If desired, sprinkle the New Mexico red chile powder over the mix for a subtle spicy kick and gently toss again to coat the ingredients.
For a slightly sweet and sticky mix, drizzle the honey over the mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated. This step is optional but adds a delicious twist.
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop the trail mix into the mason jars, filling each jar evenly and leaving a little space at the top.
Seal the jars tightly with lids and label them, if desired. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy as a snack on your next hike or give the jars as thoughtful homemade gifts!
