I enjoy trail mixes but I’m all about the homemade versions. I like to control the ingredients going into them and only add the items that I personally like. Way too often the ones out in the retail marketplace have goodies added to them that I dislike, taste stale or are too expensive to buy. That’s one of the things I like about this Goji Berries and Popcorn Trail Mix Recipe from Popcorn.org. It has all of the ingredients I love and I can enjoy it freshly made. The recipe will make approximately 12 cups.
Goji Berries and Popcorn Trail Mix Recipe
1 cup each unsalted almonds and cashews
8 cups unsalted, unbuttered popped popcorn
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped dried apples
1/2 cup dried goji berries
Preheat oven to 300° Fahrenheit. Toast almonds and cashews on large, rimmed baking sheet for 10 minutes; let cool. Line same baking sheet with parchment paper; spread popcorn onto baking sheet.
In small saucepan set over medium heat, melt butter, honey, dark chocolate and salt, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle over popcorn; toss gently. Bake, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes or until popcorn is dry; let cool. Toss popcorn mixture with almonds, cashews, apples and goji berries.

I think this is one of my favorite popcorn mixes you have presented. I love the combination of trail mix and popcorn with dark chocolate.
I love trail mixes but agree they are expensive and have items in them that I pick out and trash. I like this and all the items in it would make a great snack.
So much better than store bought. I like the popcorn in this mix.
This is another great snack you have found for us. I have never had goji berries. I guess it is something I should try.
