TRAIL MIX SANDWICHES



Trail Mix Sandwiches image

Going on an adventure? These unique sandwiches pack a lot of nutrients and travel extremely well. They do require an adventurous spirit because they are quite different than they average fare. For a sweeter taste use a trail mix that includes dried fruit. I would not recommend one with chocolate pieces, though! Plain, unchopped sunflower seeds work great, too.

THE BEST HOMEMADE TRAIL MIX



The Best Homemade Trail Mix image

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!

Categories     Nuts

Time 5m

Yield 5 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

16 ounces almonds
35 ounces cocktail peanuts
16 ounces honey roasted peanuts
20 ounces raisins
10 ounces craisins (optional)
5 ounces dried cherries
6 ounces dried apricots
12 5/8 ounces M&M's plain chocolate candy
10 ounces reece's peanut butter chips
12 ounces nestle white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients into a very large bowl and combine well. Can be stored easily in gallon size ziplock bags or large Rubbermaid containers.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. This includes using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the slices tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the slices hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the slices until they are just set: The slices should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the slices cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Trail mix slices are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover trail mix, and they can also be made with a variety of different ingredients to suit your taste. Whether you like them chewy or crunchy, with nuts or dried fruit, trail mix slices are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or dessert, give trail mix slices a try. You won't be disappointed!
