A friend recommended this mix last year. She said to double the syrup mixture-- I have been playing w/ that - I think maybe double all but the butter or margarine. We also like dried cherries sometimes instead of cranberries. and I used slivered almonds instead of sliced ones. Overall, very good idea and easy to make.

This is a huge hit with my family and friends. I have to double the recipe every time I make it. I substitute 2 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios for either the Rice or Corn Chex when making it.

I use dried cranberry for alot of my recipes not cherry. I just love dried cranberry and the cranberry orange chex mix is for people over 40 young people can't handle it. It taste so goood that it should come with an warning sign.
