    Snack it to me: Apricocious Snack Mix

    Snack it to me:  Apricocious Snack Mix

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is Snack mix number 5.

    A little bit of Apricot in my life,
    A little bit of Almonds by my side.
    A little bit of Chocolate’s all I need,
    A little bit of mixing’s what I see.
    A little bit of fruit dried in the sun,
    A little bit of munching all night long.
    A little bit of trail mix here I am,
    A little bit of you makes me your fan!
    Snack mix number five.

    It has long been public knowledge that I have terrible taste in music. You are lucky there wasn’t a Backstreet Boys song that worked here, because then I might have tried to re-write the whole song and not just the chorus that I am sure is now stuck in your head. (It’s been in my head since I wrote “Snack mix number 5 is here.”)

    Apricots are a persnickety fruit. I have bought them one too many times at the grocery store, excited because they are finally in season, only to get home and be disappointed because they are mealy or, even worse, bland. You know the moment when you take a bite and you have the heartbreaking realization that the fruit tastes like a shadow of itself? Yeah. I really hate that.

    Which is why dried fruit is great. All the delicious apricot-y goodness is concentrated into a little pocket of joy. Add some almonds and a wee bit of white chocolate for good measure and you, my friend, will not be hangry when you get stuck on the CTA when they are rerouting your communte and messing with your dinner schedule. Instead, you will queue up an episode of Doctor Who and munch away, pleased with yourself for being a grownup and thinking a head. (You don’t need to tell anyone that you forgot that it was buried in the depths of your purse, your secret is safe with me).

    Someday soon this flavor combo might be reincarnated as a cookie. Or a muffin. But for now, instant gratification is what it’s all about.

    Apricocious Snack Mix

    Ingredients:

    • 150 grams (3 handfulls) dried apricots
    • 150 grams (2 handfulls) almonds (I used blanched, but you can use roasted and salted here for a sweet & salty take on this mix)
    • 75 grams (really this is how much you want – i wanted one piece of chocolate for every 2-3 apricots) white chocolate callets or chips

    Instructions:

    1. Place a medium mixing bowl on a kitchen scale and tare (zero) it.
    2. Add each ingredient, weighing as you go. This recipe doesn’t need you to measure them out first.
    3. Mix to combine.
    4. Store in an air-tight container for up to one month.
