Bringing Homemade Trail Mix to Hawaii Given Food Import Restrictions

Because I have hungry, snacky, picky-eater kids, I make homemade trail mix ahead of every vacation. Aside from the obligatory candy, it generally contains almonds, peanuts, cashews, raisins, and sweetened cranberries. None of these things should be able to germinate if dropped on the ground.

Question: has anyone tried taking any of these ingredients (almonds, peanuts, cashews, raisins, crushed and sweetened cranberries) into Hawaii? If so, were they permitted or refused? OR does anyone know the appropriate Hawaiian agency so I can contact them ahead of time and just ask them?
