Subj : 8/31 Nat Trail Mix Day 3 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Sat Aug 30 2025 06:25:54 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Chocolate Trail Mix Categories: Nutd, Fruits, Chocolate Yield: 4 servings 1 c Raw, unsalted almonds or - pistachios 1 c Raw, unsalted cashews or - pecans 1/2 c Raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds - or sunflower seeds 1/2 c Dried cherries, raisins, Blueberries, goldenberries - or chopped dried apricots, - mango, pineapple or prunes Salt 1/2 c Dark or semisweet chocolate - pieces or chips, peanut - butter cups or chips Set the oven @ 275oF/135oC. Scatter the nuts and seeds on a large sheet pan in an even layer. Bake until they are lightly toasted and maybe browned in spots, about 12 minutes, turning the nuts and seeds over as best you can and rotating the sheet pan halfway through cooking. Remove from the oven, add the cherries and 4 teaspoon salt and stir with a wooden spoon. Spread the mixture out again to let cool until you can easily handle the sheet pan with bare hands, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you add the chocolate to the sheet pan directly at this stage, it might melt a little. But if you prefer the chocolate to melt into your clusters, add half the chocolate directly to the sheet pan along with the dried fruit. After cooling, add remaining chocolate then transfer to a bowl, using a flat spatula to scrape any chocolate from the pan, and let cool until solid again, 30 to 90 minutes.) Transfer to a bowl, then stir in the chocolate (if you haven't already added it). Enjoy immediately, or store for up to one month in an airtight container at a cool temperature.
