Use any variety of mixed nuts or seeds in this trail mix. Dried fruit is a concentrated source of carbohydrates, and the nuts add good fats and protein to this snack, which you can pack in bags for the road.

Very, very good. I formed them into 16 cookie shaped balls when they were almost completely cooled. That cuts the calorie count in half. These remind me of a healthier version of the cinnamon-candy coated almonds sold around the holidays.

My husband loves this snack and frequently requests that I make him some. He especially likes eating it with his morning cup of coffee at work. I thought it was very easy to make and very tasty. A little bit on the sweet side for me but that's just me. I make it up and then put the servings in little snack bags. It's a satisfying snack but you want to have handi-wipes close for clean up after finishing. It's not a snack to eat while you're driving!
