Preparation
Step 1
In a very large plastic bag combine powdered sugar and nutmeg; set aside. Place cereal in a very large bowl; set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine white baking pieces, cashew butter, and butter. Stir over low heat until baking pieces and butter are melted. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla.
Pour butter mixture over cereal mixture; carefully stir until cereal is evenly coated. Cool slightly. Add cereal mixture, half at a time, to powdered sugar mixture in bag and shake to coat. Add nuts and fruit. Shake just until combine. Pour into shallow baking pan lined with waxed paper to cool. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
Note: For a kid-friendly version, substitute ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder for nutmeg; peanuts for cashews; dried fruit bits for dried cherries; and peanut butter for cashew butter.
