Party Poppin Trail Mix Recipes

APPLE PIE PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix together the cinnamon and rice cereal squares, dried apples, mini vanilla cookie wafers and almonds in a large bowl.
• Put the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Stir in the brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the apple pie spice, salt and vanilla. Pour this over the cereal mixture and stir to coat completely. Spread in an even layer on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake, stirring with a spatula after 15 minutes, until slightly golden, about 30 minutes total. Let cool, then transfer to a serving bowl.

STRAWBERRY-PRETZEL SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the graham cereal and pretzel sticks together in a large bowl. Whisk the butter, brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Pour the sauce over the snack mix and toss to coat well. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the mix is toasted and almost completely dry, 10 to 15 minutes, tossing about halfway through.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Toss in the yogurt-covered pretzels and strawberries. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

PARTY POPPING TRAIL MIX

Steps:

• There are 2 ways to air-pop your microwave. You can either pull out your 80's era popcorn popper. Once the popcorn is popped, spray with olive oil and sprinkle on the nutritional yeast. OR spray the inside of a brown paper lunch sack with olive oil, add the popcorn kernels, nutritional yeast, fold the bag over and microwave on high for 4 minutes (stop the microwave when you no longer hear at at least a pop a second).
• Throw it into a bowl. Once the popcorn is cool, add the rest of the ingredients and mix.
