Nurturing my inner... trail remix

If you don't want a new temptation to wrestle over, do not read this entry.*

*Unofficial official legal disclaimer that protects the writer from any new bad habits you form from this potentially addictive snack treat.

A friend invited me on a hike with some of her friends this weekend, yet sadly we got thunderstormed out.  Safety first!  (And taking into account my uncanny ability to attract worst case scenarios, I needent mess with potential bolts of energy thrust downward from darkened skies.)  But not before I had already purchased ample hiking rations and woke up at 5:15 am to get ready.  Eh, you can't mess with fierce forces of nature.  (No, I wasn't referring to me, the major crankypants who woke up WAY before the sun all for naught.)

It would stand to reason that seeing as I didn't hike, I had no need to consume trail mix.  There is not much of a rugged pathway from my kitchen to my living room.  But I just could NOT wait to bust this open.  S'mores blend trail mix.  With a peek-a-boo window to beckon me closer to the tasty treasure within.  (Who could possibly have the wherewithal to resist?)


Portion control was a huge struggle
after I took my first bite.

So what's inside?  Crunchy graham cracker nuggets, crispy mini marshmallows, honey roasted peanuts, milk chocolate candies, shaved coconut bits and these incredibly unique cocoa roasted whole almonds.  Are you even serious?  Help me, I didn't stand a chance.


The key is to get the perfect mouthful each time.
With a little bit of each item.

If trail mixes have gotten this incredibly gourmet and absolutely irresistible, I could be talked into a hike on any 90 degree, 100% humidity day!  It was such a crunchy, salty, sweet, satisfying reward for all my athletic efforts.  And I hadn't even left my couch.  Imagine how good it would have been if I had actually scaled a mountain!  Well, maybe next weekend?
