More concept than recipe, this trail mix is a combination of flavors, colors, and textures. Feel free to make up your own. Love pretzel sticks? Add some. Can’t stand cranberries? Use your favorite dried fruit.
This in some ways is a tribute to Lagos, and Lagos Island Snacks, walking the roads under the hot sun but being promised a reward roadside, of popcorn, groundnuts, parched corn and more.
My mix had
- Chin Chin
- Dried tropical fruit – mango, pineapple, pawpaw
- Candied citron
- Roasted groundnuts
- Toasted shredded coconut
- Dried cranberries and currants
- Toasted corn
Combine in a bowl, then store in an airtight container.
How to eat it – enjoy this as a snack on its own, with drinks, or even as cereal 🙂
How to gift it – pack in clean jars or bags, or containers, and decorate/ make festive with ribbons, twine, and more.
Enjoy!
