Harvest Trail Mix

I could go on all day about how this is my absolute favorite time of year. I love everything about it. I love the leaves changing colors and falling. I love fires burning in the fireplace while I work. I love seeing my kids excited for all the holidays. I LOVE candy corn!! I love it all. The colors, the scents, the sounds, the crisp air. I LOVE candy corn! See a pattern developing?
Harvest Trail Mix
This Harvest Trail Mix is a combination of everything I love. My kids can not wait to get their hands into it and with the sweet and salty mix of nuts, pretzels, and some sweet treats, it is definitely a snack I do not mind them having.
While some love a Chex Trail Mix, I love a Harvest Mix that features Bugles as the sweet and savory component. Talk about yum!
How Do You Store This Homemade Trail Mix
You will want to store your trail mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It will last for around a week. If you store it properly you will be able to enjoy the crisp and sweet flavor in every bite.
