Hi, I am Melinda Cerritos with Four Paws Pantry. Today, I am showing you how to make Doggy Trail Mix. Right now, I am going to show you how to store your trail mix once it's baked. In the bowl we have the finished trail mix, we have added our last two ingredients which is the pepperoni snack and the carob chips. With our hands, we've just gently tossed it around to try to mix it altogether. This will store in the freezer for up to three months. You can store it in an air-tight container and I just, the easiest way I found is just to take a measuring cup, and pour it in, or you can store it in freezer bags. You can store it in a larger one. I like to store some of it in the larger bag, and also smaller freezer bag. That way I can just pull out one bag as I need it, maybe every week or so, just pull out about a cups worth. Just store it in your freezer bag, making sure when you seal it you get all the air out and with your air-tight container.

Now, to thaw your Doggy Trail Mix, once you take the bag out of the freezer you can simply open it up, and allow the air to get to it for about a half hour, making sure that you kind of, move it around the bag every so often. Just sometimes with the thawing, condensation will appear in the bag. You want to make sure that if you see any moisture in the bag, you transfer this to a dry bag before sealing it back up. You can leave this on the counter up to four, five days in the closed, in the sealed bag. If condensation does get in to your trail mix, you will find that within three or four days, it will start molding and youve really ruined your all of your hard work. So, just make sure that you seal it up nicely and you can leave it out on your kitchen counter for your dog for three or four days without being in the freezer.

Now, that we have gone over how to store the Doggy Trail Mix, I hope you've learned a lot today with this recipe, and I hope that you will enjoy making it, and I hope your dog will enjoy it just as much as I know my dog does. Thank you very much.
