Servings: persons

2 cups granola cereal
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 (3 1/2 ounce) can flaked coconut (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup banana chips
1/2 cup dark raisin
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup dried apricot, diced
1 cup M&M'

1
In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except dried fruit (banana chips and raisins, cherries and apricots) and m&m's.
2
Mix well.
3
Spread evenly in an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet-spray foil with Pam (makes for easy clean-up).
4
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).
5
Note: Check at 40 minutes. Sometimes it's done. It will harden when cooled.
6
Remove from oven. I like to immediately remove trail mix onto another pan or cookie sheet to cool.
7
When warm, stir in banana chips, raisins, cherries and apricots.
8
Cool thoroughly and add chocolate candies.
9
Store tightly covered at room temperature.
