Fruit and Nuts Trail Mix {Gifts in a Jar ~ Day Twelve}

We made it!  12 days in a row of Gifts in a Jar.

(I wasn’t actually sure it was going to happen today.  Did you try to check my site today and see that it was nowhere to be found?  My server was down ALL day.  Wow.  I never realized how much I rely on my own website to look up recipes until I didn’t have access to it today.  Anyway, here we are and all is well.  Even if I did have to wing it when I made Breakfast Cookies this afternoon.)

Today’s Gift in a Jar idea is really too simple.  There’s not really a “recipe” for this trail mix, because you can throw in whatever dried fruit and nuts that you like.  Of course, I like to pour in some chocolate chips for good measure.  :)

Here are some suggestions for ingredients to use when creating your Trail Mix:

Roasted peanuts, cashews, pecans, and/or almonds.
Dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries, and/or raisins
Chocolate Chips – any variety (dark, semi-sweet, or milk)

You can use any size jar – and simply fill it with the recipients favorite trail mix treats. 

And there you have it.  Twelve days of Gifts in a Jar that ended just a little bit…nutty.   But you expected nothing less, right?  :)
