hmm
I am surprised to see a recipe for something as simple as this. I make trail mix for my kids using Multigrain cheerios, multigrain pretzel sticks, dried fruit without added sugar, and multigrain goldfish crackers, and yogurt raisins. They love it. Just an idea. There is soo many different thigns you can put in this.
