Description

This vibrant trail mix is an orchestra of textures and tastes, a medley that dances across your palate with every handful. Imagine the satisfying crunch of assorted nuts, each roasted to smoky perfection, mingling with the chewy sweetness of dried cranberries. These ruby-red gems burst with a tartness that brightens the savory notes of the nuts, creating a beautiful balance that keeps you coming back for more.

Adding another layer of decadence are generous chunks of dark chocolate. Their intense, slightly bitter profile provides a counterpoint to the sweetness of the cranberries and the saltiness of the nuts. As the chocolate melts in your mouth, it releases a wave of rich, comforting flavor that elevates the entire experience.

But the real star of this trail mix is the addition of maple bacon pieces. These crispy, smoky morsels infuse the mix with a irresistible savory-sweet flavor. The maple adds a subtle hint of sweetness that complements the smoky bacon, creating an addictive combination that's impossible to resist.

The crispy texture provides a delightful contrast to the other ingredients, making each bite a textural adventure. This trail mix isn't just a snack; it's a carefully curated collection of flavors and textures designed to satisfy your cravings and provide a boost of energy. It's perfect for hiking, camping, or simply enjoying as an afternoon treat.

Pack it in your bag for a quick and easy snack on the go, or keep a jar on your desk for a satisfying pick-me-up throughout the day. This mix is also a great addition to any party or gathering, offering a delicious and crowd-pleasing alternative to traditional snacks. Whether you're an adventurous foodie or simply looking for a healthier and more flavorful snack option, this trail mix is sure to become a new favorite.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
    2.
    Lay the bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet and brush them with half of the maple syrup. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
    3.
    Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). In a small mixing bowl, combine the almonds, pecans, olive oil, paprika, salt, and remaining maple syrup. Stir well to ensure the nuts are evenly coated with the seasonings.
    4.
    Spread the seasoned nuts in a single layer on the same baking sheet used for the bacon. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
    5.
    Roughly chop the dried cranberries. In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted nuts, chopped cranberries, chocolate chips, and crumbled maple bacon. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
