9 cups Rice Chex, Corn Chex or Wheat Chex (or combination of all three)
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup honey roasted peanuts or other honey mixed nuts
2/3 cup light brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup orange juice

In a large microwavable bowl, mix 9 cups of cereal, dried cranberries and peanuts. Toss in brown sugar, orange zest and cinnamon over Chex. In a microwave or in a medium sized pan, melt butter and orange juice together over medium high heat. Once melted, drizzle over cereal mix stirring everything together. Microwave cereal mix for 1 minute then stir one last time to coat everything. Spread cereal on a paper towel lined baking sheet and allow to cool. Once cooled and set, store and serve.
