Another recipe before the end of summer, and your kids will LOVE it (Roy & Vivian can’t stop once they start)!

Ingredients

2 cups Banana Nut Cheerios® cereal
1 cup Cinnamon Chex® cereal
1 cup fat-free small pretzel twists
1/2 cup walnut halves
1 egg white
1 tablespoon orange juice or water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups popped 90%+ fat-free microwave popcorn (any flavor)
1 cup crispy apple chips, broken into pieces (from smaller / 2.5-oz bag)

Instructions

Heat oven to 300°F. Spray large roasting pan with cooking spray, or grease with shortening. In large bowl, mix cereals, pretzels and walnuts; set aside.

In medium bowl, beat egg white, orange juice, sugar and cinnamon with wire whisk until well blended. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Stir in popcorn. Spread in pan.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until light brown and crisp. Remove from oven; stir in apple chips. Cool completely, about 10 minutes.  Enjoy!

No walnuts? Use your favorite nut or nut combo.
