S’mores Trail Mix Recipe

We love camping. Several years ago, we bought our pop up camper sight unseen on Ebay. We drove the 12 hours to Michigan to pick it up and enjoyed our very first camping vacation using it. That was back when we only had 4 kids. Now we have 7 kids and this past weekend, we all crammed into that pop up for another weekend. We had set up a tent for the big kids, but their friends didn’t end up coming like they had originally hoped, so we still managed to fit our whole family in this camper.

I bet you didn’t know they make pop up campers to sleep 9 did you? 🙂 Well, technically they don’t (at least I don’t think), but we get creative. 3 girls sleep long ways on the king sized bed; my husband, the baby and I sleep on the queen sized bed; the 2 & 5 year old on one of the table beds; and my teenage son on the larger table bed. All in all, it worked, except I didn’t get much sleep from all the coughing fits they were having. That’s a whole different story though.

So…this time, I knew we were going to have S’mores and thought it may be fun to have a snack to eat at the campsite, that didn’t require campfire, too. That’s when I saw my box of Golden Grahams on the table and thought…..trail mix!

Ingredients:

Golden Grahams Cereal
mini marshmallows
Chocolate chips
Salted Peanuts

Directions:

Mix 6 cups of Golden Grahams cereal, jar of peanuts, 3/4 of a bag of miniature marshmallows and 3/4 of a bag of chocolate chips together in a large bowl. Pour in gallon size ziplock bag and take it with you on your camping trip. Be sure to keep it in the top of the ice chest so that the chocolate chips don’t melt too badly.

Note: Honestly, I just did it by what looked right. Just pour them together until the mix looks good to you and you’ll be set. The above measurements are guesstimates.

I normally don’t like eating marshmallows unless they’re melted on campfire S’mores, but….I actually liked them in this mix. My 2 year old though, I think he wanted to eat this whole entire bag! Don’t worry, we didn’t let him!!

Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much. I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals. This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week. So grateful!

Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans. They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me! The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking. I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year. My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer. Thank you so much

This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children. I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home. I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day. I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it! Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well! So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table. Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
