Cranberry Cinnamon Snack Mix is full of crunchy cinnamon cereal, peanuts, pistachios, white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. It’s a holiday snack mix everyone will love!
Snack mixes are good for so many things. Movie nights, a snack table at a birthday party or other gathering. And I’ve become especially fond of them for holiday treats. As is Natalie. She took this particular snack mix as a treat in her lunch for about a week, until it was all gone. She was very excited the first time she opened her lunch and found it, and she made sure to tell me as soon as I picked her up!
And you know what? This Cranberry Cinnamon Snack Mix is one that will be loved by kids and adults, alike. The crispy cinnamon cereal, pistachios and peanuts are baked in a coating of melted butter, brown sugar, and orange juice, then mixed with white chocolate chips and cranberries. It’s the perfect balance of sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy.
