What is the perfect ratio for trail mix?
What is the perfect ratio for trail mix?
Is it really 33% nuts, 33% raisins or dried cranberries, and 33% chocolate? Or is it a different percentage? I think it may be 40-40-20, or 35-35-30.
100% chocolate. Shoot I’m just eating straight chocolate chips. Again.
33 0 ReplyAbsolutely agree. The other things are just garbage and a waste of energy to consume. If for some reason you find yourself with trail mix that isn't all chocolate, what you want to do is just heat up the trail mix over a strainer and let all the chocolate fall thru. Let the chocolate cool, throw away the rest, and then eat the remaining chocolate once it hardens. Enjoy the best trail mix ever.

It’s whatever ratio you like! I go heavier on the nuts because I can pretend it’s healthier.

Whatever it is, the raisens should be at the lowest with the chocolate just above them. I hate it when my trail mix is more chewy than crunchy.

75% rye chips. The rest can be whatever
8 0 Reply75%? Why are you skimping on the rye chips?

That's way too much chocolate for my tastes. I like a low like 5% so you don't get it every handful.

I once had a high school science teacher tell us that trail mix was a homogeneous mixture because there was an equal amount of each ingredient. He was ridiculously incorrect of course but that stuck with me lol.
5 0 ReplyMine is more like... 60% nuts, 30% raisins, 10% chocolate, by weight.

3 0 ReplyDepends on your goal I guess? I can't imagine chocolate being over twenty percent unless you are just making candy.
3 0 ReplyThe trick is to put knobs on your helmet that control the ratios. That way your trail mix steam can be altered based on the situation.
2 0 ReplyA helmet? While walking on a trail?

I'm not sure about the ratio but I just found this at Costco and it's amazing, plus no chocolate which is gross.
2 0 ReplyChocolate IS gross. Glad to see another anticho
