Ingredients

2 cups whole grain square cereal
2 cups honey-sweetened oat cereal
2 1/2 ounces (about 3 cups) pretzel sticks
1/2 cup sunflower seed kernels
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins or dried cherries
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese cubes

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325° F. Mix cereals, pretzel sticks and sunflower seed kernels in large bowl; set aside.

Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat; stir in oil, water and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in cinnamon and mix well. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.

Spread into 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes (be careful not to overcook). Spread on waxed paper or aluminum foil; cool completely.

Toss with dried cranberries; store in an airtight container until ready to serve. Toss in cheese cubes just before serving.
