HAPPY TRAIL MIX

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cup almonds
• 1 ¼ cup pecans
• 1 ¼ cup walnuts

Preheat oven to 300˚F. In a large bowl, combine nuts and seeds. In a cup or small bowl, mix your choice of sweetener with Cinnamon Bark essential oil. Combine the two bowls and mix well until nuts and seeds are well coated. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn mixture over in pan and continue baking for approximately 10 more minutes. Mixture should be dry. Watch carefully to avoid burning the mixture.

Allow the mixture to cool completely. Add dried fruit and coconut to mixture and stir. Mix can be stored in an airtight container or kept in the freezer.
