List of Ingredients

2 cups oatmeal cereal squares (Life Cereal was the closest thing I could find to "oatmeal")
2 cups corn cereal squares
2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup whole almonds (unsalted, uncooked)
1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
1/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed (undiluted)
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2/3 cup dried cranberries*



Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Spray 9x13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Combine cereal squares, pretzels and almonds in large bowl - set aside.

3. Melt butter in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 45-60 seconds. Stir in orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, and remaining spices - blend well. Pour over cereal mixture - stir well to coat. Place in prepared pan and spread to one layer.

4. Bake 50 minutes - stirring every 10 minutes. After baking 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

*Personally, I love the dried cranberries and add more (probably 1 to 1-1/4 cups)
