Wikipedia: Trail mix
Trail mix or gorp is a type of snack mix, typically a combination of granola, dried fruit, nuts, and sometimes candy, developed as a food to be taken along on hikes. Trail mix is considered a great snack food for hikes, because it is lightweight, easy to store, and nutritious, providing a quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit or granola, and sustained energy from fat in nuts.
 
Wikipedia: Granola
Granola is a food consisting of rolled oats, nuts, seeds, honey or other sweeteners such as brown sugar, and sometimes puffed rice, that is usually baked until crisp, toasted and golden brown. The mixture is stirred while baking to avoid burning and to maintain a loose breakfast cereal consistency. Dried fruit, such as raisins and dates, and confections such as chocolate are sometimes added.

Trail mix is just deconstructed granola bars.
I mean think about it. It’s just most of the same ingredients in a bag as opposed to a bar.

I think there’s a certain point before it hits deconstructed granola bar, but just replacing r**s**s w m&m’s isn’t it. I’m happy to discuss the ins and outs of trail mix though
