Sweet Harvest Snack Mix image

Sweet and salty mix of cereal squares, dried fruit, and nuts, in a honey and spice glaze. Use whatever cereal you like, Crispex, all Corn or Rice Chex, or a combination. The fruit choice is also flexible - banana chips, dried cranberries, dried apples, dried mango, dried apricots, or a combination ; use what you have and what you like. You'll want to cut up the fruit to all about the size of a dried cranberry.
