Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup roasted almonds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 cup mini pretzels
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure your nuts and seeds are roasted—if not, spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8-10 minutes. Let them cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds. Stir gently to mix.
- Add the dried cranberries and golden raisins to the bowl. These will add that sweet, chewy texture.
- Toss in the mini pretzels. Break them into smaller pieces if they’re too big for your liking.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg evenly over the mixture. Stir well to ensure every piece is coated with those warm fall spices.
- Finally, add the dark chocolate chunks. Be careful not to stir too aggressively, as you don’t want the chocolate to melt.
- Give everything a final toss, then transfer the trail mix to your storage containers. It’s ready to enjoy immediately or save for later!
Notes
Roast your nuts for added flavor and crunch. Ensure all ingredients are cooled completely before mixing to prevent chocolate from melting. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
