Holiday Snack Mix

8 cups oatmeal square cereal

2 cups pecans

½ cup light corn syrup

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup butter

1 tsp vanilla

½ tsp baking soda

1 T fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Zest of 1 organic orange

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9x13 baking pan and add cereal and pecans. In a medium microwaveable bowl, heat syrup, sugar, butter for 1 ½ mins; stir. Microwave an additional ½ to 1 ½ mins or until boiling. Stir in vanilla, orange zest, rosemary and soda; pour over cereal. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 20 mins to evenly coat cereal and pecans. Remove from oven to cool. Carefully break apart before serving or storing in an air-tight container for up to 1 week. I guarantee it will not last that long though.

For a twist, add 1 cup of dried cranberries to cooled mix before serving.
