We are excited about the 4th of July next week here at The Freshman Cook! It has always been one of my favorite summer holidays. I love the cooking out, the swimming, the time spent with family and friends, and of course the fireworks!
Every year I like to change up some of the food and snacks we serve, and this year I added a quick and easy 4th of July Trail Mix as a little bowl of something to munch on as we watch the fireworks over the city!
This trail mix is actually a copy of my favorite trail mix I used to buy at the store, but it has been discontinued. So I tried my best to duplicate it. It was easy to get the ingredients, and I calculated the ingredient amount a few times and then decided on what you see here.
I hope you enjoy this quick and easy recipe. I also included some plastic cups with lids for those of you who would prefer your trail mix in containers, instead of picking the mix from a community bowl. Package the containers before anyone arrives, to make things simple and easy! Enjoy, and Happy 4th!
Quick and Easy 4th of July Trail Mix
(makes enough for 8-10)
(printable recipe at end of page)
2 cups of Peanuts
1 cup Red, White and Blue M & M’s
1 cup Seedless Raisins
1 cup Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter Morsels
Mix ingredients together in a bowl.
Unless you are serving immediately, keep the mix fresh by placing it in a ziplock bag until you are ready to use it. 
Everyone will love these flavors together! 
The plastic cups I used for the guests that would like them will hold 2 ounces of mix, and they each have their own lid. I purchased them at the dollar store.
Thanks for joining me today!
