Notes

Don't forget to use fresh nuts and candies, as using stale ones can affect the taste and texture of your trail mix.
If you want your mix to be less sweet, you can add more nuts or even pretzels to offset the sweetness of the candy.
You can also experiment with your mix-ins. Dried fruits such as cranberries or apricots can add chewiness and a bit of tartness.
You can also try white chocolate chips, candy pumpkins, and Reese's pieces to add some variety.
