[recipe] Oak Snack Mix

[Guest guest]

I think you could easily sub in olive oil and maple syrup

in the place of the butter and honey f you wnted to

make a vegan version of this snack mix. It is very good.

Doesn't last very long after my children find it.

 

Oak Snack Mix

 

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

3 cups square oat cereal

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup chocolate-covered raisins

 

In a saucepan or micro-wave safe bowl, combine the

first five ingredients; heat until the butter is melted.

Stir until the sugar is dissolved. In a large bowl,

combine cereal, oats and nuts. Drizzle with the butter

mixture and mix well. Place in a 15x10x1 inch baking

pan. Bale, uncovered, at 275 degrees for 45 minutes,

stirring every 15 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, stirring

occasionally. Stir in cranberries and chocolate-covered

raisins. Store in an airtight container.

Yield: about 6 cups
