Wisconsin Trail Mix

Oct 9, 2015 · 14 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

With Wisconsin being the nations’ leading cranberry producing state, it’s no wonder that this Wisconsin trail mix contains dried cranberries!

If you’re anything like me, fall can be super busy – even busier than summer. It’s like everyone and everything has kicked it into high gear and it’s go-go-go… but all you want to do is curl up on the couch and watch the fall lineup (Scandal, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Nashville, anyone?)

So between the busy craziness that has been life lately I decided it was high time I made snacks to get me through, and what better way than with a homemade trail mix?

Homemade Wisconsin trail mix @sweetphi

Trail mixes are such an easy snack to make- simply combine all your ingredients and then you get to enjoy it for days to come. For this Wisconsin trail mix one of the key components are dried cranberries (since WI produces 60 percent of the country’s crop), and then those tart berries go perfectly with sweet chocolate and salty peanuts.

Stealing a line from from Scandal “sit there and watch me choose you” oh delicious trail mix! Happy Five Ingredient Friday!

    Mirella is making trail mix all the time. She has a handful as a snack at work and in the afternoon when she comes back home, as a power booster.
    Plus, they’re full of antioxidants AND keep you full.
    Craisins is the latest trend here, as they only started selling about 4-5 years ago. Previous to that, they were an unknown ingredient. As soon as we tried them we were hooked!:)
    Thank you for another great trail mix alternative I’ll send this one to Mirella right now:)
    Have a great day!

    When I think Wisconsin, I think cheese! Who knew they were a leading cranberry producer too? Love the combination of these textures and flavors!

      You just gave me an idea – cheesy chex mix? I’m totally going to work on that one 😉 I found it so cool too when I found out WI was such a big cranberry producer, it was actually my hubby who told me about that and after looking into it, of course he was right! This trail mix is one of my favorite snacks!!

    Dreams do come true… This looks fabulous! I didn’t know WI was such a big cranberry producer. This post makes me miss the midwest (I’m a a native Michigander)

      I was a little surprised at how big of a producer of cranberries WI is too, the midwest is pretty awesome 🙂

    […] Wisconsin Trail Mix – Este es un muy simple, sencillo, pero colorida y sabrosa, mezcla de frutos secos. Y puesto que es el estado de Wisconsin arándano productora principal de América, no es de extrañar la receta comienza con arándanos secos! Junto a ello, la mezcla pide cerezas secas, trocitos de chocolate semi-dulce, nueces confitadas y cacahuetes tostados en seco. Siempre se puede usar pacanas simples si lo prefiere no tiene el contenido de azúcar añadido.
