CHEWY TRAIL MIX - PAULA DEEN

Steps:

• In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except dried fruit (banana chips and raisins, cherries and apricots) and m&m's.
• Mix well.
• Spread evenly in an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet-spray foil with Pam (makes for easy clean-up).
• Bake at 300 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes (I like to leave some large clumps and break apart when cool).
• Note: Check at 40 minutes. Sometimes it's done. It will harden when cooled.
• Remove from oven. I like to immediately remove trail mix onto another pan or cookie sheet to cool.
• When warm, stir in banana chips, raisins, cherries and apricots.
• Cool thoroughly and add chocolate candies.
• Store tightly covered at room temperature.
