As you’ve probably figured out, I’m my daughter’s Girl Scout Troop Leader. Well, I decided it was time to teach the Daisies about GORP! GORP = Good Ol’ Raisins and Peanuts. It’s usually made with raisins, peanuts, and m & m’s, but really you can do whatever you’d like. There is a catch though…it needs to be 2/3rds healthy and 1/3 fun! GORP really is just a trail mix and is meant to provide you with nourishment and energy during a hike. Everyone loved this version, so I thought I would pass it along.
Homemade GORP
you will need equal parts of:
raisins
pepitas (raw, shelled pumpkin)
chocolate chips
diced, dried pineapple
plain or honey granola
mini caramel bites (found them near the choc chips @ Wal-Mart)
2 parts mixed nuts, salted
1/2 a part shredded, sweetened coconut
Put everything in a large bowl and mix well to combine. Store in a zip-top baggie for up to 2 weeks, but mine never last that long.

February 27, 2011 at 2:11 pmThis looks like a twist on puppy chow (not real puppy chow). It’s what my daughter calls it. She uses chex, peanut butter and powdered sugar. I thought that was sinfully Delish but YOUR post beats that.
I hope you don’t mind if I repost on my blog!
Thanks for sharing!
