Crunchy, Salty & Sweet Trail Mix
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup salted pretzel sticks
- 1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1½ cups Dried Cranberries
- 1 cup cocoa-covered almonds
- 1 cup Dried Cherries
Directions:
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Break the pretzel sticks up coarsely and place them in a cereal bowl. Add the granola to a second cereal bowl.
Place 2/3 cup of the chocolate chips in a small heat-safe mixing bowl. Melt in the microwave on High for 30 seconds, stirring. Continue in 20-second intervals, stirring after each one, until the chips are melted and smooth. Mix in the remaining chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
Drizzle half of the melted chocolate over the pretzels and the other half over the granola. Stir each bowl until thoroughly coated. Spread each on the parchment paper, separating into small chunks. Place in the refrigerator until set, about an hour.
Break into small pieces, add to a large mixing bowl with the cranberries, almonds, and cherries, and toss to mix.
Store in an airtight container, and take with you in snack bags.
Makes about 5½ cups.
