1 box store bought granola
1/4 box of Cheerios
1 bag of M&Ms (plain or peanut, or better yet–both)
Dried fruit (pineapple, apricot, banana chips, apples)
Mini marshmallows
Raisins (chocolate covered ones are best)
Flaked coconut
1 handful of peanuts
1 handful of walnuts
Three small bags of Gummy Bears (the original kind, not the cheap ones)
Put all that stuff in a couple zip-lock baggies so you can share it with your friends, and give it a good shake.
Good sprinkled on ice cream or cereal, even better in yogurt!
Author Note: I now make granola from scratch and it is one of Alex’s favorite treats. I still still sometimes make my own “trail mix” but mostly it is just cheerios, nuts, raisins. It is a perfect snack when I am traveling and worried that I might starve to death between convenience store or airport stops.
