Chestnut Free Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix
Crunchy, chewy, and just a little bit chocolatey, this trail mix hits every snack craving in a single handful. Walnuts bring rich, buttery depth while pumpkin and sunflower seeds add satisfying crunch, and the dried cranberries keep things bright and a little tart. A drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon tie everything together with a warm, lightly sweet coating that makes this feel more intentional than your average grab-and-go mix. For anyone navigating a chestnut allergy, packaged trail mixes and nut blends can be a minefield — seasonal varieties especially tend to sneak them in. Building your own batch from scratch means you know exactly what's in every handful, with zero guesswork. The dark chocolate chips (go for 70% cacao or higher) add a slightly bitter edge that balances the sweetness beautifully. Make a batch on Sunday and you've got a reliable, portable snack ready to go for the whole week.
