A friend recently gifted me with a big bag of this snack mix to share with my family - it was devoured in a ridiculously-short amount of time. So, of course, I requested the recipe and share it here:
Cranberry-Orange Snack Mix
2 C. oatmeal cereal squares
2 C. corn cereal squares
2 C. mini pretzels
1 C. whole almonds
1/4 C. margarine
1/3 C. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 tabl. packed brown sugar (or Splenda brown sugar blend)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
2/3 C. dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 250. Spray 13x9" pan with cooking spray. Combine cereal squares, pretzels and almonds in a large bowl. Melt margarine in microwavable bowl on high for 45-60 seconds. Stir in orange juice, brown sugar, and spices until blended. Pour over cereal mixture; stir well to coat. Place in prepared pan and spread to one layer. Bake 50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Stir in cranberries. Let cool in pan on wire rack, leaving uncovered until mixture is crisp. Store in airtight container or resealable plastic food storage bag. Makes 8 cups.
