Chocolate Cranberry Trail Mix

While visiting family in Upstate New York, I stopped by ALDI one afternoon to pick up road trip snacks for our long drive back to Florida. There were so many options! In fact, I paced for a good 10 minutes near the trail mix selection, trying to narrow down a combo both Joseph and I would love.

I finally chose a chocolate-cranberry mix filled with sunflower seeds, peanuts, and almonds. But the bag didn’t even last through Pennsylvania—that’s how yummy it was!

Obviously, I needed to make this STAT as an at-home staple.

This easy trail mix recipe is now my go-to afternoon snack when I’m feeling low on energy. It’s incredibly portable for parties too (just like this amazing sweet chex mix!). I made a batch for one of my blogger meet-ups, and everyone loved the perfect sweet and salty combination!

How to Make Chocolate Cranberry Trail Mix

Step 1: Measure all ingredients into a container or gallon sized ziplock storage bag. You’ll get the best price on nuts at a bulk foods store like Sam’s Club. Just store them in the fridge so they last longer!

Step 2: Shake well. Store in a cool, dry place.
