1/4 cup Carob chips
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Powder
1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt (not pictured)
DIRECTIONS
1. Cut dried apricots into quarters, then add all nuts, fruits, and chips in a bowl.
2. Add seasoning, stir and taste. Add more of whatever your tastes prefer.

Feel free to try different nuts or fruits, add coconut, use dark chocolate chips, etc. I'm sure the end product will be delicious!
