Trail Mix Bars

These Trail Mix Bars are easy to make and they are a sweet and yummy snack. I found this great recipe on Comfybelly.com. The ingredients and directions are as follows.

Ingredients:

1 cup raw cashews
1 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried cranberries

Directions:

1. Toasted nuts: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Bake the nuts on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes, or until they become fragrant and are lightly toasted.
2. Line a baking dish or a rectangular container with parchment paper. I use an 8 inch x 10 inch baking dish.
3. Add the honey, water and salt to a saucepan and bring the honey mixture to a bubbly boil. Cook for about 10 minutes or until it turns a darker brown, without burning it. The longer you cook the honey, the firmer the bars will be at the end.
4. Chop nuts into smaller pieces by hand or pulse in a food processor.
5. Combine the honey mixture, nuts and cranberries, and mix to blend well.
6. Scoop the mixture into the baking dish.
7. Using another piece of parchment paper and your hands, press down on the mixture to make it compact and uniform.
8. Let the mixture cool for at least 15 minutes and then slice into squares or rectangles.
9. Store in a sealed container or wrap well to seal out air.

Makes 8 to 10 bars.

Enjoy!
