Today, Kevin and I are diving into four of our top picks from Favorite Day, the Target brand trail mixes: Cotton Candy, Ice Cream Sundae, Summer Lemonade, and Dill Pickle. Priced affordably at $4 each, these mixes offer a variety of flavors and textures that cater to different tastes and preferences.
Cotton Candy
This seasonal delight combines popping candy clusters, vanilla cream almonds, peanuts, shortbread chips, yogurt-covered raisins, and strawberry confection drops. At 150 calories per 30g serving, it leans towards a fruity aroma rather than a strictly cotton candy flavor.
Ice Cream Sundae
Packed with peanuts, cookies and cream bites, birthday cake cookie dough, milk chocolate peanut butter cups, M&M's, yogurt waffle cone pieces, chocolate chips, and pretzels, this mix promises a flavor explosion. However, it tends to lean heavily on pretzels, which may affect the overall sweetness balance.
Summer Lemonade
For those who enjoy a tangy twist, this mix offers roasted peanuts, sour strawberry raisins, lemon fizzy clusters, strawberry chips, lemonade cashews, and lemon-flavored dried apples. The sour notes from the raisins add a unique zing, which may not appeal to everyone's palate.
Dill Pickle
A departure from the sweet options, this mix features seasoned peanuts, corn sticks, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and almonds—all seasoned to taste like authentic dill pickles. It delivers a savory, tangy profile with a hint of vinegar that stands out.
Each mix comes in at 6 servings per container, offering around 140-180 calories per recommended serving size of 27-30g. This makes them suitable for satisfying snack cravings without overindulging.
In conclusion, Favorite Day's trail mixes from Target blend a variety of ingredients that cater to diverse tastes, making them a worthwhile snack option at an affordable price point. For detailed ingredient visuals, check out the images at the end of our article review.
