With the summer heat at its peak, I’m ready for the cool and crisp fall weather to arrive. With crimson and gold autumn leaves abound, I can’t help but spend more time outdoors. And with all that walking and hiking, a girl needs some food to replenish her energy reserves! That’s where this dark chocolate peanut butter drizzled s’mores trail mix comes in.
My ideal trail mix is a little nutty and a little sweet, so I tossed together a handful of pistachio, macadamia, roasted cashews and some dark chocolate and peanut butter chips. I could have stopped there, but when I think of the great outdoors, I think of s’mores. Why not add mini-marshmallows, bite sized pieces of graham crackers, and drizzle the whole thing with more dark chocolate?
And the results are totally worth it! Seriously you guys, it tastes AMAZING.
