Trail mix is one of those snacks that sounds simple but hits every note — salty, sweet, crunchy, and chewy all at once. This version layers roasted peanuts and cashews with buttery almonds and sunflower seeds, then balances the savory crunch with raisins, dried cranberries, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. The optional M&Ms push it firmly into treat territory, making it just as welcome in a lunchbox as it is on a hiking trail. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, packaged snack mixes can be a minefield of hidden ingredients and shared-facility warnings — making a batch from scratch like this puts you fully in control. Every ingredient here is naturally free of rye and other problematic grains, so there's no label-squinting required. It comes together in minutes with zero cooking, and storing it in an airtight container or pre-portioned snack bags means you've got a grab-and-go option ready all week long.
