5-Minute Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
"This mix comes together in the microwave in 3 minutes. There's some flexibility in the recipe depending on what you have on hand and enjoy. If you want to use a different type of nut, style of pretzel, substitute a different type of candy, or another type of dried fruit, feel free. The mix is salty-and-sweet, crunchy, crispy, slightly chewy, and there are so many flavors and textures in every bite. The pumpkin spice flavor is present without being overwhelming, the honey-roasted peanuts add a nice touch, there are caramel undertones from the brown sugar, and the orange-flavored dried cranberries slightly perfume the mix...."
