Planter's Trail Mix Energy Mix Review

I love nut mixes, especially sweet and salty ones. However, I hate raisins and other dried fruits of that sort, so it is hard to find good ones.
 Planter's Trail Mix: Energy Mix
I chose to buy a box of the individual packs where you get a pack that is 1.5 oz for 240 calories. There are quite a bit of nuts as you can see, and a fun variety.
First there are honey roasted peanuts. These are small and there are not many, however the flavor of them, rubs off onto the other nuts which gives the whole pack a yummy slight sweetness.
Next there are pecans and walnuts. These have a similar flavor, which is pretty plain, and a similar soft flavor, but they are nice for variety.
Also there are sesame sticks which help to break away from nutty textures and make the mix a little lighter. They are an interesting contrast.
Then there are plain crunchy almonds and candy coated dark chocolate covered soy nuts. These go hand in hand in my book since almonds are crunchy and bitter and the chocolate is creamy and so sweet, so I eat one of each at a time.

Pros: Such a unique variety (and of course I love that they come in packs).
Cons: None?

Taste: 10/10 Perfect sweet and salty combo.
Texture: 10/10 So much going on.
Amount for calories: 9/10
Overall: 10/10

This mix is a must try in my book. Also, there is a similar mix that I love as well that one could try instead that is the Planter's Sustaining Energy Mix in Chocolate nut which is honey roasted peanuts, cashews, almonds, soy clusters, and dark chocolate covered soy nuts.
