Instructions

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the vanilla Chex cereal, plain Cheerios, pretzels, and sliced almonds; stir to mix evenly.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the corn syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth and combined.
• Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss gently until the pieces are evenly coated.
• Spread the coated mixture in one even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 300°F for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through baking.
• Remove the pan from the oven, break apart any clusters that stuck together, and let the mixture cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Melt the white chocolate (2 oz) in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals, stirring between intervals, or melt using a double boiler, until smooth.
• Once the Chex mix is completely cool, sprinkle the dried tart cherries evenly over it and drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top.
• Let the white chocolate set until hardened. Break the mix into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
