- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chunks
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), roasted and salted
- 0.5 cup Shelled pistachios
- 0.5 cup Cranberries, dried
- 1 teaspoon New Mexico red chile powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted salted cashews, chili-lime spiced peanuts, dried mango slices, dark chocolate chunks, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, and dried cranberries. Mix until evenly distributed.
Step 2
If desired, sprinkle the New Mexico red chile powder over the mix for a subtle spicy kick and gently toss again to coat the ingredients.
Step 3
For a slightly sweet and sticky mix, drizzle the honey over the mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated. This step is optional but adds a delicious twist.
Step 4
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop the trail mix into the mason jars, filling each jar evenly and leaving a little space at the top.
Step 5
Seal the jars tightly with lids and label them, if desired. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
Step 6
Enjoy as a snack on your next hike or give the jars as thoughtful homemade gifts!
