The ingredients are pretty simple:
2 c. Corn Chex
2 c. Oat squares
2 c. Mini Pretzels
1 c. whole almonds
1/4 c. butter
1/3 c. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 Tbl packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp allspice
2/3 c. dried cranberries (Craisins)
Preheat oven to 250 degrees and coat a 13X9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix the first four ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. In a smaller bowl melt butter and add orange juice concentrate, brown sugar and spices. Mix well and pour over the dry ingredients, stirring them to coat.
Spread the resulting mix on the baking pan and bake for 50 minutes. You will need to stir the mix every 10 minutes.
Once it's done, you add the Craisins and lay the mix out on a flat surface until it's dry. You can store it in any airtight container. As an extra bonus, your kitchen will have a wonderful smell of spiced orange and cranberry.
This is better than any old cookie mix :)

This is a great last minute and frugal gift. You can collect jars and containers through the year and be ready to go. I am a new Twitter follower visiting from The Girl Creative. Vicky from Mess For Less
