campfire trail mix
All of the components of traditional s’mores are combined with pretzels and nuts to make a fun summer campfire trail mix.
If one was to take a peek in my carry on bags they would likely incorrectly assume that I was traveling with a herd of small children. I’ve always got an impressive assortment of antibacterial wipes, shout wipes, band aids, pain relievers and other items sure to resolve any sticky situation. More importantly, I keep a mix of snacks chosen to satisfy every craving. I like to have both sweet and salty eats so that I can enjoy whatever I am in the mood for without resorting to expensive airport fare or fast food. This Campfire Trail Mix satisfies both sweet and salty cravings and was perfect for traveling. Based on the flavors of campfire s’mores it makes a fun treat for summer snacking.

Where are the cute little star crackers from?
