Bob's bike-trail mix. A great energy snack!

(Use a medium-size mixing bowl)

Start off with some good ol' Thompson Seedless raisins
(about ½ cup).

Next, add 1 bag of M&Ms (plain or nut - your choice) Or, 1 medium-size bag of Hershey's Kisses (remember to remove the metal foil wrappers).

Then add 2 Hostess Snowballs - diced into ½" chunks (or substitute those raspberry 'twinkie-like' things). Mounds or Almond Joy are also acceptible substitutes.

Mix well together in a sandwich bag (shake lightly to combine ingredients).

Marinate the whole lot in 1 cup of Jolt Cola or Red Bull Energy Drink for 1 hour, then put it in the fridge to solidify. And voila!

You can break off chunks during your ride. And pieces can be used effectively as missiles to fend off pesky squirrels.

NOTE: Cranberry or Orange Juice may be substituted for the above drinks if you're extremely health conscious.

Now look at the results! Guaranteed, you'll go like a bat out of h_ll!

Happy cycling!
