Personal Recipes IV

This is my personal trail mix recipe. It's a real hit with the crew at work. Lots of calories, so moderate intake. I keep it to half cup per serving when on the job.
It's a walmart special, meaning that all the ingredients can be found at walmart. Should you be able to grow your own or prep your own ingredients, that would make the flavor all the better. Amy toasted some oatmeal in the oven for one batch and it was delicious!
Ingredient sizes and amounts are determined by your personal preferences and how big a batch you want. I use the entire contents of the packages as they are sold except for the raisens and chocolate and any obvious amounts which are too much. It's limited by only what YOU want in YOUR trail mix. Your trail mix is unique to you and what you like.
Start with a party mix of nuts of your choice, whatever your favorites are or just one type of nut if you prefer only peanuts or almonds or cashews or pecans or whatever. I like the lightly salted with sea salt type or no salt at all. I use the entire can.
Now mix in some raisins of some sort. I like a mix of half plain raisins and half yogurt covered or chocolate covered raisins. I use the amount of the package of the yogurt covered raisens.
Mix in some chocolate. I used to use M and M's, now I use a mix of half and half milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate that you find in the baking section to bake cookies with. The amount I use is determined by how large a batch and how many other ingredients are going into the batch. Too much chocolate, if there is such a thing, can take from the flavors of the other ingredients.
I like to mix in a package of dried mixed berries. Sometimes dried banana chips or apricots or even prunes. All limited by your imagination. Toss all of this into a closed container or big mixing bowel and mix thoroughly.
One batch I mixed in some oven roasted oatmeal Amy had roasted up. It was the best. It's good for you in moderate amounts, bon apettit!
