This is an excellant snack mix for the holidays. We cook up several batches of this every year, package it up, and deliver it to friends and family. It's always a great hit. When cooking more than 2 batches at once I increase the bake time to 60 minutes to compensate for the loss of heat from opening the oven door repeatedly Ingredients:
2 cups quaker oatmeal squares cereal (cinnamon or brown sugar) |
2 cups corn chex |
2 cups small pretzels |
1 cup whole almond |
2/3 cup dried cranberries |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed |
3 tablespoons brown sugar (packed) |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 250 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine cereals, pretzels, and almonds.
3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and spices. Stir in melted butter and orange concentrate.
4. Pour sugar/butter mixture over cereal mixture and stir to coat evenly.

6. Cook for 50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
