Ingredients
  • 1½ cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 1½ cups oyster crackers
  • 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ⅛-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup diced dried pineapple
  • ½ cup unsweetened large coconut flakes
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 250˚F. Combine cereal, oyster crackers and peanuts in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a small bowl, stir together oil, onion salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, paprika, cinnamon, allspice and brown sugar. Pour over cereal mixture and stir until well coated. Spread onto a baking sheet with sides. Bake in a 250˚F oven for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. In the meantime, combine pineapple and coconut in the medium bowl (there should be some residual spiced oil left) and stir to combine. Add the pineapple/coconut mixture onto the baking sheet and stir to combine. Continue baking another 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.
