Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe! What I like to do is use a dried fruit blend. Tropical is my favorite, along with the raisins. I do not like... coconut, so I omit that part. Also,I like to make a double batch and use 1 can of condensed milk and then fill it with normal milk. Works out just fine! thanks to those who mentioned the reduced cooking time. Read more

OMG
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Talk about delicious! I just finished my second batch of this and I lowered the cooking time to 40-45 min. I like mine with... a bit of a crunch. I purchased all my ingredients from a whole foods bulk grocer so everything was as fresh as it could be! This makes about 8 cups worth which doesn't seem like a lot, but trust me it's a lot! Great, Great, Great snack!Read more

GREAT!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this for company and I have to keep reminding myself not to munch on it! I used dried apples instead of dried... bananas- you could play with the fruit/nut combination. Thanks to the other reviewers who warned that 55-60 minutes is too long to cook. I checked mine at 40 minutes and it was a touch too brown. I'd start watching it closely after 30 minutes or so.Read more

Addictive!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This trail mix is very addictive! It makes a large portion and will keep for several days. I liked all of the different... ingrediants. I left out a couple of things (wheat germ, 2 of the dried fruits) and you are still left with a tasty mix. Tasty by itself or mixed with yogurt. A Keeper!Read more

Simply the best!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Being rated 5 stars, i decided to try this recipe. I used parchment paper instead of foil and i had absolutely no problem of... the mix sticking. i used the top rack of my oven and stirred every 10 minutes just to make sure it wouldn't burn. I also used only 3/4 can of the condensed milk because i didn't want it too sweet. It came out perfect. I couldn't stop eating it and my daughter's got tired of hearing me rave about how good my trail mix came out. Using this trail mix over plain yogurt or as a breakfast cereal would be great. Just to have in a ziploc bag when you're on the run is a good thing too.Read more
