| 3 packages ramen noodles, any flavor |
| 15 small sticks beef jerky, cut into small pieces |
| 1/2 pound dried apricots, cut into small pieces* |
| 1/2 cup dried cranberries, blueberries, cherries, or bananas |
| 2 cups dry roasted peanuts |
Break noodles into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Makes 12 cups.
Variation: For a more traditional trail mix, omit the beef jerky and fruit. Add 1 pound plain chocolate-coated candies, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup sunflower seeds, and 3 cups granola cereal to broken up noodles and stir.
*Any dried fruit combination may be substituted.
