Cinnamon Sugar Nut Trail Mix

This trail mix is a remix of my favorite recipe of my cinnamon sugared pecans. I gave it a twist and turned this delicious snack into a trail mix by combining dried fruit and a combination of white and semi sweet chocolate chips. This is perfect for grabbing a handful and taking them on the road for a healthy and delicious snack. I love the combination of these flavors of the sweet and salty combined and I am sure you will to. Perfect for night time snacks, kids lunch, football games or grab a bag and go if you are going on a long road trip, these will defiantly hold you over.

When I go to markets and fairs the main smell is all of the varieties of glazed nuts. I would grab a bag and walk around, finish them, and want more. This inspired me to come home and make my own. They are very easy to make and a great gift for the holidays, I fill mason jars with these and place a pretty ribbon and they are perfect to give to anyone from your mom to the mailman.
