Toasting the nuts briefly deepens their flavor before they're tossed with dried fruit, pretzels, and dark chocolate chunks. This no-cook assembly comes together in minutes and makes a portable snack for hiking, road trips, or afternoon energy boosts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Spread the almonds, cashews, pecans, and pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  3. Toast in the oven, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts are fragrant and lightly golden.

  4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely, about 15 minutes.

  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooled nuts and seeds with the dried cranberries, dried cherries, and mini pretzels.

  6. Add the dark chocolate chunks and sea salt, then toss everything together until evenly distributed.

  7. Transfer the trail mix to an airtight container or divide into individual bags for storage.
