# Instructions:
01 -
Add the dried cranberries, dried cherries, chocolate-covered almonds, mini pretzels, and pumpkin seeds to a large mixing bowl.
02 -
Sprinkle in the dark chocolate chips and red candy-coated chocolates so the smaller pieces are spread across the top.
03 -
Fold gently with a wide spoon or clean hands for 30-45 seconds, until the fruit, chocolate, pretzels, seeds, and candies look evenly combined.
04 -
Taste a small handful. Add the flaky salt if the mix tastes too sweet, or add more cranberries if you want extra tartness.

Serve right away in a large bowl or portion into small cups or treat bags. Store leftovers airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week.
