Why make your own?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The stores sell pre-made trail mix. So why make your own? There are plenty of good reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Quality control of ingredients<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Cost control<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fun to make<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Kids can help<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
My kids really love helping in the kitchen. And this is a simple recipe they can help to make without making a mess in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m also all about saving money where I can. Now it might not be huge. The store brand I used to buy was about $0.30 an ounce. This I have down to about $0.27 an ounce. That might not feel like a large difference, but it’s a difference of about $1 per batch. If you make as much as me, that adds up over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where to find ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I’ve found these to be the best stores to buy the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
