Ingredients

  • 2 cups Corn Chex™ cereal
  • 2 cups tiny fish-shaped pretzels
  • 2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 package (3 ounces) dried cherries ( 2/3 cup)
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) white baking chips (2 cups)

  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps

  • 1
    Toss cereal, pretzels, peanuts, marshmallows and cherries in large bowl.
  • 2
    Heat baking chips and half-and-half in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until chips are melted. Stir in almond extract.

    Pour melted mixture over dry ingredients. Toss gently until dry ingredients are coated. Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand about 1 hour or until set. Store loosely covered up to 1 week.
