Here is my (healthier version) of the traditional snack mix. Serve a bowl to the kiddos or when you have a group over for pumpkin carving or a football game. I used a low sugar cereal along with roasted pumpkin seeds and popcorn made without hydrogenated fats. The caramel is pure sugar :) but I only used a little bit.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Mix cereal, popcorn, and cashews or pumpkin seeds into a large bowl and set aside. Melt caramel in the microwave or stove top with a little whipping cream. Line a cookie tray with parchment paper and spread the snack mix evenly. Use a spoon to add the melted caramel. Bake for about 15 minutes. Allow to cool and break up the mixture. Serve immediately or put the mix in a zip lock bag for later!
