These trail mix cups combine crunchy nuts, tart cranberries, and rich dark chocolate for a quick, easy, and satisfying snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) dark chocolate chips or chopped bar
  • 1 cup (140 g) raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup (70 g) cashews
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) pumpkin seeds (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) dried cranberries
  • 2 tbsp (20 g) sunflower seeds
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  2. Break dark chocolate into small pieces and melt gently using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine toasted nuts and seeds with dried cranberries and a pinch of sea salt.
  4. Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the nut mixture and stir well to help bind the ingredients.
  5. Pour melted chocolate over the nut and fruit mixture and fold thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
  6. Spoon the mixture into muffin tin cups or silicone molds, pressing down gently to compact the mixture.
  7. Refrigerate molds for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
  8. Carefully remove the trail mix cups from the molds and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Toasting nuts and seeds enhances flavor and crunch but is optional. Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version. Avoid overheating chocolate to prevent scorching. Press mixture firmly into molds to prevent crumbling. Store refrigerated and consume within two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
