My friend told me what she adds to her trail mix and I just eyeballed it. Your main components should be peanuts and almonds. 5This fills my 5 quart bowl to the brim, so you'll need a humongous bowl, or two large ones. You can add craisins if you want, and any dried fruit.I only used about 12 oz almonds and about 2/3 tub of raisins. My kids love this!
