Energizing Trail Mix
- 1 cup pecans unsalted raw, broken into smaller pieces
- 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds or unsalted raw
- 2 slices hand dried pineapple, torn
- 1 cup unsalted cashews raw and
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 400 and place Pecans on cookie sheet.
- Roast (if you purchased the raw kind) Pumpkin seeds for 3-5 minutes. When cooking both Pecans and Pumpkin Seeds at the same time, rotate pan for even roasting or place them on the same cookie sheet. Check on them after a few minutes and be careful not to burn.
- While nuts and seeds are roasting in oven, place all other ingredients in a separate bowl and mix well with hands.
- When done, put hot Pecans and Pumpkin Seeds from cookie sheet into the bowl with other ingredients and mix up well to spread chocolate throughout the mix. Be prepared for chocolate covered hands.
- Place bowl in refrigerator so chocolate hardens. Check after 15 minutes or so to see if bowl is chilled and if trail mix creates a cluster.
- Store in a plastic container (at room temperature) or zip loc baggy.
