How to Make Snack Mix Special

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of your favorite cereal (like Cheerios or Chex), 1 cup of mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and pecans), ½ cup of dried cranberries, ½ cup of pumpkin seeds, ¼ cup of sunflower seeds, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss until cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until golden brown and crunchy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a large bowl. This helps it crisp up further.
  6. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
