Trail Mix

I've been eating this stuff as long as I can remember. Although I haven't made it much the past few years, my mom would make this every once in a while growing up. The other day I was looking for a treat to make for our family night and I remembered this! It's so quick and easy to throw together and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand.

Not only is this a perfect snack for a family fun night, but it also makes a great little gift for a teacher or friend.
