Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios cereal
3 cups Toasted Oatmeal Squares
1 1/2 cups mixed roasted nuts

For the “sticky” mixture:

2 1/2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons Jack Daniels whiskey
1/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon real vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cardamom

Mix-ins:

2 cups mixed dried fruit
1 cup dark chocolate yogurt coated raisins

Dark chocolate drizzle: 4 oz. dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 275 F. Spray a jelly roll pan or 13x9x2 inch pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the cereals & nuts.
Now put all the “sticky mixture” ingredients in a small bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. If the butter is not quite melted, microwave another minute and stir again. (Or heat it on the stovetop in a small saucepan.)
Pour the sticky mixture over the cereal mixture in the bowl and stir to coat all the pieces. Pour this mix out on the prepared pan. Bake at 275 F. for 45 minutes to an hour or until the pieces are nice and crunchy, stirring every 15 minutes. Let this mixture cool completely.
Mix in the dried fruit & yogurt-coated raisins. Melt the chocolate and drizzle it over top of the snack mix. Set aside until the chocolate is set. Break into chunks and enjoy! Store in an airtight container.
