Trail mix, sometimes called 'gorp' (short for good old-fashioned raisons and peanuts) can be made with a variety of ingredients. The main ingredients in a store bought package are usually:

• Raisons
• Peanuts
• M&M’s milk chocolate candies
• Almonds
• Cashews

Adding some dried fruit to this mixture is a good idea.

• Dried banana chips
• Dried apricots

Other possibilities include but are not limited to:

• Pretzils, curled or in sticks
• Chereo’s cereal
• Chex cereal
• A cereal with marshmellows
• Small marshmellows
• Chocolate chips (don't over-do this one if you decide to use it)

I'm also thinking granola or granola clusters from any granola breakfast cereal would be tasty also. Feel free to experiment with this recipe.
