    Title: Chocolate Trail Mix
    Categories: Nutd, Fruits, Chocolate
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 c Raw, unsalted almonds or
    - pistachios
    1 c Raw, unsalted cashews or
    - pecans
    1/2 c Raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds
    - or sunflower seeds
    1/2 c Dried cherries, raisins,
    Blueberries, goldenberries
    - or chopped dried apricots,
    - mango, pineapple or prunes
    Salt
    1/2 c Dark or semisweet chocolate
    - pieces or chips, peanut
    - butter cups or chips

    Set the oven @ 275ºF/135ºC.

    Scatter the nuts and seeds on a large sheet pan in an
    even layer. Bake until they are lightly toasted and
    maybe browned in spots, about 12 minutes, turning the
    nuts and seeds over as best you can and rotating the
    sheet pan halfway through cooking.

    Remove from the oven, add the cherries and ¼ teaspoon
    salt and stir with a wooden spoon. Spread the mixture
    out again to let cool until you can easily handle the
    sheet pan with bare hands, 15 to 20 minutes. (If you add
    the chocolate to the sheet pan directly at this stage,
    it might melt a little. But if you prefer the chocolate
    to melt into your clusters, add half the chocolate
    directly to the sheet pan along with the dried fruit.
    After cooling, add remaining chocolate then transfer to
    a bowl, using a flat spatula to scrape any chocolate
    from the pan, and let cool until solid again, 30 to 90
    minutes.)

    Transfer to a bowl, then stir in the chocolate (if you
    haven’t already added it). Enjoy immediately, or store
    for up to one month in an airtight container at a cool
    temperature.
