A classic blend of salty nuts, sweet dried fruits, and a pop of chocolate candy. This customizable snack is perfect for hiking, road trips, or just a quick energy boost.
Optional: For enhanced flavor, toast the raw almonds. Place them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and let them cool completely to room temperature. This is crucial to prevent the chocolate from melting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled almonds, roasted peanuts, raisins, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and chocolate candies.
Use a large spoon or spatula to gently stir all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed throughout the mix.
