ingredients
- 2 cups granola cereal
- 3⁄4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 3⁄4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1 (3 1/2 ounce) can flaked coconut (1 1/2 cups)
- 1⁄2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1⁄2 cup wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup banana chips
- 1⁄2 cup dark raisin
- 1⁄2 cup golden raisin
- 1⁄2 cup dried cherries

directions
- In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except dried fruit (banana chips and raisins, cherries and apricots) and m&m's.
- Mix well.
- Spread evenly in an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet-spray foil with Pam (makes for easy clean-up).
- Bake at 300 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes (I like to leave some large clumps and break apart when cool).
- Note: Check at 40 minutes. Sometimes it's done. It will harden when cooled.
- Remove from oven. I like to immediately remove trail mix onto another pan or cookie sheet to cool.
- When warm, stir in banana chips, raisins, cherries and apricots.
- Cool thoroughly and add chocolate candies.
- Store tightly covered at room temperature.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi everybody,
I’ve been using “Zaar” website for the last year but ready to commit myself to adding my two cents worth (including some photos). I live with my DH and two great kids and one crazy dog in the foothills of Colorado. We have a great view with lots deer and red rocks. I come from a food-loving family, including my nearby sister who is willing to discuss "what's for dinner" first thing in the morning! I’ve loved cooking every since I was a teenager. I don’t work so I have lots of time to cook my latest craving. I love to try and duplicate dishes I enjoy from restaurants. I have a lot of cookbooks, but now use mostly “Zaar” recipes and from “Cooks Illustrated.” I love reading cookbooks (library) and like the old classics from Betty Crocker to backs of food labels. I love to research lots of recipes before I decide which one to make.
