If I remember anything from high school biology, it’s that monkeys are one of are closest relatives.
We like bananas; they like bananas. We like peanuts; they probably like peanuts. We like chocolate; they’d love chocolate if anyone were weird enough to give chocolate to a monkey.
Basically, monkeys have good taste in trail mix. And we do, too. This snack is packed with just things monkeys(and people!) would like.
I could only find Reese’s peanut butter chips so those are what I used. If you’re looking for something more natural, Sunspire makes really good peanut butter chips which you can find at some Whole Foods and natural food stores.

It doesn’t get much easier than that.
I read somewhere once that monkeys don’t actually like bananas. And then I remembered that I’d never actually seen a monkey at a zoo eating a banana. But I might have dreamed all of this…
What I meant to say is, this looks delicious!
“Prep time: 5 minutes

My kind of recipe 😀 looks delicious!
Mmmm, that looks like the perfect trail mix!
“I could only find Reese’s peanut butter chips so those are what I used.” You shut your face with that apologetic disclaimer! Some of us would be grateful to have access to any kind of peanut butter chip.

As I read the title to this post, the coffeeshop where I’m working started playing Beck’s “Loser,” whose first line goes: “In a time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey.”
had to share! 🙂
Don’t like cashews, so used almonds, also broke banana chips into smaller pieces, flavorful.
