Now that it is officially fall, what fall activities does your family like to do?  We love going camping, hiking going to the park and of course visiting the pumpkin patch.  When we are out and about I always pack snacks because after a couple hours of fun in the fresh air and we are all hungry!Fall Harvest Trail Mix; a maple and pumpkin flavor combination #BetterWithCraisins #ad | mybigfathappylife.com

My go to snack in the fall is Fall Harvest Trail Mix it’s sweet and salty with a pumpkin pie flavor.  I love everything pumpkin pie flavored in the fall…YUM!  One of my favorite ingredients in my trail mix is Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries.

My family absolutely loves Craisins® Dried Cranberries!  We will eat them right out of the bag, on salads or in baked goods because they make food even more delicious.  The “zing” of each Craisins® Dried Cranberries makes them unique.  Plus each 1/4 cup of Craisins® Dried Cranberries provides 1/2 cup of fruit. Yes!Fall Harvest Trail Mix; a maple and pumpkin flavor combination #BetterWithCraisins #ad | mybigfathappylife.com

The Fall Harvest Trail Mix is easy to make and I’m making another batch this week to take out on our hike this weekend.  Cook pecans, almonds, peanuts and pumpkin seeds in maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice and salt until the mixture is thickened.  Allow to hardened on parchment paper, then break apart and combine with Craisins® Dried Cranberries, apricots, raisins and cinnamon chips.  Be sure to find the full recipe below.

You may have noticed that Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries are no longer at your local Sam’s Club.  You can still find them at other retailers.  I picked up my bags at Walmart while I was grabbing all the other ingredients for my Fall Harvest Trail Mix.

    Sounds yummy. Love homemade snacks like this. I wonder if you can switch out maple syrup with agave?

    • mybigfathappylife says

      September 30, 2016 at 9:36 pm

      Thanks Ashley! I’m not familiar enough with agave but you’re trying to make a coating on the nuts mixture, so it should work.

    I love making my own trail mix at home because I get to pick the ingredients that I put in them. I’ve used this brand of craisins before, it’s really awesome especially with oats and yogurt! I normally add it in my overnight oats.

      I love Craisins in my yogurt with some granola! I’ll have to try them in some oats.

    I really like the idea of making my own trail mix. I usually buy a mix from trader joes, but this seems like a much better way of customizing a mix to how you like it.

      That’s an excellent point Cindy!

    Fun recipe that I’m sure kids would love. We use Craisins in our salads so it’s nice to see another use for them.

    Oh, this looks like a nice trail mix. My son loves munching on something like this during snack time or movie time.
