Most of them came from prior projects but sometimes I have been known to buy little pieces just because. I buy them just because I MIGHT need them sometime. Today that sometime came. I loved using the little pieces in …

This sweet and salty apple chip trail mix is super delicious and perfect for an active day. We made it as a Girl Scout troop in Santa Fe, New Mexico and took it as our hiking trail snack to to the Pecos Historical National Park. It was quite a hit.
