I could not trust myself with a whole batch so.....using the nutrition labels on the products, I came up with this 1 serving recipe and fewer calories: 2T raisins, 54 calories; 1/4 C Cheerios, 25 cal; 1/2 oz. mixed nuts, 85 cal.; 1 T Hershey's semi sweet chocolate pieces, 70 calories; 234 calories. - 2/10/10

I made up a batch similar to this to take on the train with me as a good snack or even a meal substitute if necessary; it had fruit and protein. I just had to be careful about portions (it is easy to eat too much in one sitting). I am concerned that the dried fruits have so much sugar added. - 9/11/08

I love trail mix~thank you for all the ideas for variety!
KDA1981~you can do the research on your own and see this is calculated correcty as it is. A whole cup is 1,409. Divide that by 4 and it's 352.25 calories. So the poster DID calculate it corectly.
Yummy mixed with yogurt too! =) - 9/25/08

If you look at the calorie breakdown by ingredient it turns out a serving size is 3/4 cup, not 1/4 cup, so divide by three to get the real calorie count!
I made this with a wide variety of cereal, dried fruits, nut and butterscotch chips and it came out to 127 calories per 1/4 cup. - 1/11/10

Good ideas. I made this last night, using almonds, Corn Chex, dried apricots (cut into quarters), and Peanut Butter M&Ms. By today, the Chex were stale from the moisture in the apricots, and the almonds nearly were, too. I may not cut the apricots up in the future I like all the different ideas! - 4/10/09

I don't know why this is so high in calories, except maybe for the dried fruit (which has a LOT of sugar). I make up my own snack mix ...3 cups of original Chex mix w/ 3 cups of Joe's O's (cheerios equivalent from Trader Joe's) w/ 3 cups of puffed brown rice cereal. Mix it up in a large ziploc. - 8/22/09
