Ahhh trail mix…. Nutty and sweet and salty all in one bite! Here is a new to us product that we discovered as a result of the Frequent Flyer, Trader Joe’s Happy Trekking Trail Mix.
This is one of those snacks (trail mix) that we really love, that are full of energy and lots of flavors in each bite. There are some mixtures that are better than others – like when chocolate is included- but for the most part they are all good.
This Happy Trekking Trail Mix is one of those good mixtures. There are only 6 ingredients and they work well together. Each bit includes plenty of crunch (nuts) chewy (dried fruits) Sweet (ohh dark chocolate) all together in each bite. WOW!
The ingredients are:
- Almonds
- Cashews
- Pistachios
- Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet YEAH!)
- Dried Cranberries
- Dried Cherries
We thought this was a great mixture and those cherries and cranberries were really tasty with the chocolate and the nuts.

In fact, this mixture is soo good that you can even add a few more nuts to the mix and it still tastes great. We added a few of the salted ballpark peanuts to the last few handfuls of this mix – just to stretch it out… as we ate it way too fast!

I love the combination of flavors in this mix — it’s basically exactly the fruits and nuts I like, with nothing that I don’t. However, after having actually used it as a snack while camping, I don’t feel it’s very well thought out. The use of uncoated chocolate (as opposed to M&Ms or the like) makes it very difficult to use as a snack. We left our bag in a not-particularly-hot car for an hour on a spring day, and all the chocolate liquified. Then when it cooled down, it glued everything else into a chocolatey mass, which I don’t think was what was intended. If I wanted a chocolate bar, I would just have bought one. It was impossible to eat while driving — you needed both hands to break off pieces of the block. Our kids needed constant hand and face-wiping to avoid getting chocolate all over the car, their clothes, and themselves. I took the remnants to my office, and if I wasn’t careful I would need to clean my computer keyboard, mouse, and my desk.
Yes I totally agree~ This snack mix is just delish, BUT watch out if its gets warm 🙂
