Zachary and I are peacin’ out this weekend and I could not be more excited! We both need some serious time away from work and the stresses of life and I can’t think of a better way to do so, than in the mountains on a little camping adventure. It will be the first time we’ve ever camped with our dog too, so wish us luck. {We’re going to need it.}
Every time we go camping, I make sure to plan out a list of what we’re going to eat/make. Hot dogs? Tin foil dinners? Smores? {Emphasis on the smores.} One time we even took these cinnamon roll pancakes. Mmm, they were delish! My favorite snack/food/dessert that we make sure to pack every time though, would have to be this trail mix:
The first time I ever had it was when Zachary and I were dating and he invited me to one of his family reunions. It was at Bear Lake {hence the name, Bear Lake Trail Mix}, a popular lake in northern Utah and his aunt, Kimberly, whipped out a couple tupperwares of this stuff. I could not get enough of it the entire time we were there! It has become my favorite go-to snack mix ever since.
Ingredients:
- 2 bags regular Chex Mix
- 1 bag Bugles
- 1 bag Chocolate Chip Teddy Grahams {I couldn’t find these, so I used Mini Chips Ahoy}
- 1 bag Pretzel M&M’s
- 1 bag Licorice Bits
- I bag Swedish Fish
- 1 bag Goldfish crackers
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
- Try not to eat yourself sick. {Trust me – once you start, it’s impossible to stop.}
Looks good! I wouldn’t think to mix that combo of snacks, but I’ll have to try it for our Lake Tahoe camping trip next week!
Lots of interesting flavors mixed together in this. Sounds kind of yummy. I may have to try it. Thanks for posting.
That looks yummy – and has a lot of my favorite things in it. 😉 Congrats on being featured on Feed Me Friday – it’s nice to ‘meet’ you. I’m now your newest follower! 🙂

Oh I need this in my life like now! Definitely one my favorite party mixes.
Haha me too! I’ll be sure to save some for when you come visit. I looked at a calendar today and do you realize that’s in like a week and a half?? I’m SO excited!
I will be making this for Chase to take out the field (and for me roughing it at home… :D)! He needs a healthy treat…ok so maybe it isn’t the most healthy trail mix, but I don’t think he will complain 🙂
That’s a good idea Lauren! I’m going to send our leftovers with Zachary when he goes on alert. I think the guys would like it AND it gets it outta the house so I don’t eat all of it myself. 😉
Holy cow….that sounds like one hell of a trail mix!! thanks so much for sharing!!
We go to Bear Lake every summer so this might have to be our new family tradition snack! It looks very addicting! We would love to have you join us at our Strut Your Stuff Saturday link party at sixsistersstuff.com. We hope to hear from you soon! -The Sisters
I love that you call it Bear Lake trail mix! My family goes ever year, as well! It’s been fun checking out your blog! I would love to have you stop by and enter my link party, as well. (Hosted every Saturday) http://www.oneshetwoshe.com/2012/09/hello-weekend-50-mikarose-giveaway.html
YUM! I could go for some right now!
Thanks for the recipe! I love snacks like this! I’m going to pin it to my YUM board 🙂 And oh yes, I’ve been to Bear Lake and absolutely love that area. I had two dogs I would take camping in my 5th wheel, yes I know some don’t consider that REALLY camping, but I’m old! Sadly, one of my dogs passed about a year ago, but both loved the outdoors and were actually on their best behavior when they were in the “wilderness”. Maybe like us, its because the fresh air and exercise tired them out.
This looks so good. I love the licorice and the swedish fish in there!
This is a great recipe. I am definitely making this one for the family.
That sounds like a fun and tasty trail mix!! Have fun camping!
Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
Hope you have a fabulous week!
