Cranberry Orange Chex Mix

Submitted by ugogirl

"This is so different from any other Chex mix I've tried and so simple to prepare. A co-worker shared this recipe with us after bringing it to a get-together. We all agreed that it made a great holiday munchie. The dried cranberries gives it a festive touch while the orange juice provides a refreshing citrus flavor. Be sure to use concentrate....not juice!"

Addictive! This is great for the holidays or year round. My kids are munching on some right now. The orange, cranberry and brown sugar are great together. I used a combination of crispix and rice chex cause it's what I had on hand and mixed directly in the roasting pan. With my oven, next time I'll watch it closely, any longer and it would have been too toasty. Yum! Thanks ugogirl!
