Honey Mustard Trail Mix

Honey Mustard Trail Mix

Be warned; this snack is habit-forming! We highly recommend having some jars or sealable bags ready once this is cooled. Otherwise, you might find yourself eating the entire batch in one day. (Ask us how we know!)

Don’t be intimidated by the list of ingredients. It looks like a long list, but you can mix and match based on what you have in your pantry.

There is something about combining the finishing sugar, ground mustard and a hit of salt that brings this snack altogether.
