Homemade Trail Mix Saves $



Fruity Rice Cake Gorp

    Miniature rice cakes are filling yet they weigh almost nothing in your backpack or lunch sack.  This low-fat, low-sugar recipe utilizes rice cakes to make a dessert or a snack for the trail or around the campfire.

 


3 cups plain miniature rice cakes
3 cups caramel flavor miniature rice cakes
3 cups miniature chocolate flavor rice cakes
3 cups miniature colored  marshmallows
3 cups Fruit Loops cereal
 

    Break rice cakes in two or three pieces. Put everything in a large bag and shake gently to mix well. Package in snack bags by the cupful. Makes 15 one-cup portions.  Keep cool and dry.
