Harvest Trail Mix
A great grab-and-go snack or a party treat this Harvest Trail Mix takes minutes to put together and is flavorful and fun!
A QUICK FALL SNACK MIX
Are you a snacker? I know I am and I like having different options around when the craving calls. Sometimes its sweet, sometimes it’s salty but most of the time it’s both. So it’s nice to have something a bit healthier on hand so I’m not always grabbing for chips or a candy bar. This Harvest Trail Mix easily combines fall-flavored ingredients and is the perfect combo of sweet and salty. This is a fun snack that you can grab-and-go in a hurry, have around in a bowl at parties, or to just have around to snack on throughout the day. Going pumpkin picking or apple picking? Take some of this Harvest Trail Mix trail with to snack on!
