Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope today you’ll take the time to let a significant other, family member, or friend know how special and loved they are today. You should probably do that every day, but today is a good reminder to say “I love you.”
One of my best friends is just a few weeks away from having a baby and she’s been put on bed rest. While it sounds awesome to lay around all day, read, and watch TV, I can only imagine that it probably gets old pretty quickly. So, I decided to put together a care package and send it to her. Valentine’s Day was a perfect theme for the care package since it was right around the corner. I had so much fun putting everything together, but more on that will come in a later post.
I love trail mix. It takes me back to my summer camp days hiking and canoeing around Michigan. It’s a fast and easy snack to take on the road and fills me up with just a few handfuls.
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day I got red, pink, and white M&M’s, dried cranberries, and honey roasted peanuts.
Yum! I combined equal parts of the three ingredients and mixed them together in a bowl.
That’s it! So easy, pretty, and delicious. I aways make sure to have an even ratio of chocolate, raisin, and peanut in each bite. 
Since I was shipping this as part of the care package to my best friend I put it in a ziploc bag to stay fresh with a pretty bow around it.
Ingredients
- 2 cups M&M's, preferably the Valentine's pink, white, and red ones
- 2 cups Dried Cranberries
- 2 cups Honey Roasted Peanuts
Instructions
- Combine all three ingredients and enjoy!
