There are healthy substitutions you can make if you want to reduce the sugar load this year. I’ll give you some ideas for that. You can also choose low fat and low salt versions of the ingredients for trail mix.

These Halloween trail mix recipes are customizable. Look at the ideas presented here and decide what you like best. You can make it to fit your family’s preferences. Happy Halloween!

Keep your Halloween trail mix recipe in one of these binders. Recipe binders are a great for keeping your recipes all in one place. If you are one of those people (like me) who has recipes jotted down on scraps of paper and clipped out of newspapers and scattered all over the place, you need a recipe binder! I love mine and now all my recipes are in one place. I can always find the one I want because it’s in my recipe binder! You can slip the newspaper clippings ones into a page protector and you will at least know where they are!

A page protector in a recipe binder is a great place to save recipes that you want to try. If you like the recipe after you try it, you can give it it’s own page. If not, just chuck it. But until you’re ready to try it, it will be safe in your recipe binder! These fall themed recipe binders are so pretty!
