World's Best Trail Mix Recipe

[renodesertfox]

Here's my all-time favorite trail mix recipe to take on hiking and backpacking trips. I like my trail mix on the salty side, so it's heavy on the nuts. Add more fruit if you like yours sweeter.

• 1 cup Planter's Nut-rition cashews, almonds, and macadamia nuts
• 1/4 cup Snyder's mini pretzels
• 1/4 cup dried mixed berries (cranberries, cherries, & blueberries)
• 1/4 cup Reese's Pieces
• 1/4 cup chocolate-covered coffee beans

My favorite part is the chocolate-covered coffee beans. They are delicious! Plus they pack a caffeine punch, which gives me more energy on the trail.
Just don't eat this right before bedtime!

I love the flavor of chocolate covered coffee beans but can't deal with the nervous way caffeine makes me feel.

Just use de-caffinated beans.

I've looked for decaf beans but I've never found any. Maybe I'll order some off the internet.

Reno, that recipe looks good! I've never had the chocolate covered coffee beans but I bet they are great! My wife and I are a little bit lazy when it comes to trail mix. We buy a big container of it from Target when we're there. But I may have to try this sometime!

I like the taste of chocolate covered coffee beans, but I don't like the coffee ground chunks in my mouth after biting them.

There is an excellent product, if you can find it called "Almost Nuts". They use really high quality 70% Cacao dark chocolate to cover roasted soy nuts. Man alive that stuff is good!
