Trail Mix: Purple Honey Nut

Ok, so who doesn't LOVE trail mix? I'll answer for you. Pretty much no one. I have a very precise trail mix combination that I make for myself, but sometimes for Nathan I just add random stuff into it. This version is called Purple Honey Nut. 

Ingredients:
1 part marshmallows
1 part dark chocolate m&ms
1 part unsalted peanuts
2 parts honey nut cheerios.

Directions:
1. Dump it all in a bowl
2. Mix it together. Pretty simple.




Review:
Making your own trail mix is always a plus because you can make a lot more mix for your money. I would suggest this for anyone to try. Another thing to note is that you can customize your trail mix. Wanna add raisins? Go ahead! Craving some croutons? Be my guest, but thats gross probably. The point is, if you don't like some of the things in normal trail mixes that you buy at the store, never fear, customization is here. 

I have made several different variations of trail mix and none have been nasty yet. Typically, I divide them up into little packages like in the photo above to make for an easy snack. 

ALSO, trail mix is a great "recipe" for kids. They can choose their own foods to add and mix it themselves. Its a great way to start your small kids in the kitchen. It is not advised to let you cats help you make this, as they will try to eat it all in one sitting.
