Citrus Berry Trail Mix

It might not seem like fall weather is quite here yet, but…it will be before we know it! One of my favorite parts of fall is the food…Pumpkin, cranberries & spice…OH MY! Is there anything better than a simple trail mix recipe or Chex Mix recipe? I think no! Today I’m sharing a delicious and easy fall recipe for Chex Mix that includes some my favorite fall flavors. This Chex mix snack mix recipe is one the whole family will love and is packed with delicious flavor. Let’s jump right into my Citrus Berry Trail Mix with Chex!

Whether you’re brainstorming a snack for Sunday’s big game or simply need a family treat for an upcoming road trip (or trip to the beach for my fellow Hawaii friends!), my Citrus Berry Trail Mix is for you. It incorporates Craisins, almonds and more, for a healthier, yet delicious, fall snack. Is it just me or does adding Craisins into snacks make everything just yummier?! Who’s ready to dive in?

You Will Need:

10 cups rice cereal

1 cup sliced almonds

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

8 oz. orange juice concentrate

1/2 cup Craisins® Dried Cranberries

*1/4 cup of Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries provides 1/2 cup of fruit, so this recipe includes a full cup of fruit in just the cranberries alone!*

1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a large roasting pan, combine cereal and almonds.
3. In a separate glass bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar and juice concentrate. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
4. Pour hot mixture over cereal and mix until evenly coated.
5. Place roasting pan into the oven uncovered and bake for 30 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, stir in Craisins® Dried Cranberries and let cool completely.

This recipe is such a staple in my family that I included it in my book last year. Not only is it an easy recipe, it’s a major crowd pleaser. When I make it, it’s devoured in minutes! If you enjoyed this recipe, you might also enjoy my Dairy Free Pumpkin Roll or Pumpkin Lasagna!
