CRANBERRY ORANGE CHEX MIX



Cranberry Orange Chex Mix image

This is so different from any other Chex mix I've tried and so simple to prepare. A co-worker shared this recipe with us after bringing it to a get-together. We all agreed that it made a great holiday munchie. The dried cranberries gives it a festive touch while the orange juice provides a refreshing citrus flavor. Be sure to use concentrate....not juice!

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries and oranges. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using. - If you don't have any orange zest, you can use 1 teaspoon of orange extract instead. - To make the Chex mix even sweeter, add 1/2 cup of sugar to the melted butter before tossing with the cereal. - For a spicy Chex mix, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the melted butter before tossing with the cereal. - Be sure to spread the Chex mix out in a single layer on a baking sheet so that it bakes evenly. - Store the Chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
