Kids Trail Mix
Salted peanuts, almonds, raisins, dried apple, rainbow chocolate drops, and mini peanut butter cups in one bag. The name says kids, but nobody is checking.
What It Is
This is a classic sweet-and-salty trail mix built around real ingredients: roasted peanuts, dry roasted almonds, sun-dried raisins, and dried apple pieces for the fruit side, plus fair-trade milk chocolate rainbow drops and mini peanut butter cups for the part everyone picks out first.
The chocolate is colored with spirulina, annatto, and turmeric instead of synthetic dyes, which is a small thing worth knowing if you have kids who eat with their eyes. Contains peanuts, almonds, milk, and soy. Made on shared equipment with tree nuts, wheat, and sesame.
What To Do
Grab a handful straight from the bag, pack it in a lunchbox, or pour it into a bowl for a road trip. It also works scattered over vanilla ice cream, or stirred into oatmeal if you want to feel like you are treating yourself.
Store it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight. It keeps well for several weeks at room temperature if it lasts that long, which it probably will not.
