The Freshman Cook: May 2017

Welcome To 

15 Minute Friday!

When my son was younger, we celebrated every birthday with his friends. One year we held his party in the mountains, where we hiked, rode dirt bikes and 4 wheelers, and munched on this Monster trail mix! Everyone who came to the party had a great time, and each partier took home a Monster Trail Mix Hobo Sack! It’s simply a bandanna tied on a stick for easy carrying while hiking!

Monster Trail Mix

(printable recipe at end of post)

(makes 1 sack)

1/4 cup lightly salted Peanuts

1/4 cup Red, White and Blue M+M’s

1/4 cup Golden Raisins

1/4 cup Chocolate Chips

1/4 cup Peanut Butter Chips 

1 small ziplock bag

1 bandanna

1 long stick

Mix together all of the ingredients.

Go looking for sticks.

Mia was helping me find sticks, but she lost interest when I wouldn’t throw them for her to chase!

Zip up the trail mix in a bag, then fold bandanna over the trail mix and tie to stick. Go for a hike, and have fun!

 Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this 15 Minute Snack! Drop by anytime! 

Next weeks 15 Minute Friday  is all about chocolate! See you then!
