Trail Mix Snack recipes

Earlier in the year I posted a recipe for a yummy trail mix that has been a real hit with the kids (and me!). While I have been mixing up that basic recipe a bit, I have also been taking the lazy route and making up some mixes that don't require baking in the oven. I don't have quantities of the ingredients, since I just add in and mix around until it looks yummy! For those of you about to go on your long school holiday, these are perfect for quickly making up, packing into little snack bags, and then taking with you on the road.
