Place nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven at 350 F for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the nuts from the oven, place in a mixing bowl and set aside. Reduce the oven temp to 300 degrees.
Chop and dice the crystallized ginger into small pieces and set aside.
Add syrup, vanilla, and spices to a sauce pan. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat.
Pour warm mixture slowly over the roasted nuts and stir. Avoid over-coating.
Once coated, spread nuts evenly in a single layer onto the parchment lined baking sheet and place back in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
Allow nuts to cool completely, then scrape them into a bowl.
Stir in each of the mix ins until they are evenly distributed. Serve and enjoy!
That’s all there is! Scoop your trail mix into individual containers or treat sacks, or keep it in a large airtight container. Get ready for all your family and friends to request this recipe every fall. It’s a real crowd pleaser!
