    Trail Mix Bites

    A bite size of trail mix delicousness packed into these Choco-Cherry Trail Mix bites. Cherry because I LOVE cherries.  

    Choco-Cherry Trail Mix Bites

    I am such a sucker for the 3pm sugar craving and to avoid taking down a costco sized bag of M&Ms, I like to pack a sweet treat when I am jonsin' hard.

    I also have a not so secret addiction to cherries, so come summer in Western Canada, cherry season starts to hit hard. I whip up a batch of these, and put them in the freezer and grab one when I am craving hard.

    Choco-Cherry Trail Mix Bites

    With just dark chocolate chips, nuts, seeds, and cherries, you reduce all of the preservatives added to conventional treats.

    You can even reduce the sugar even more in these by using cacao nibs.. but that is not my jam, personally.

    Because of the fresh cherries, these only last a week tops in the fridge, so I suggest putting them in the freezer for longer term storage. Keep them in the mini muffin tins to prevent them all sticking together.

      Quick, sweet treat. Melted semisweet chips with coconut oil, and used cherries and pistachios only. Put them in silicone cupcake liners and they were good!
