No Bake Cranberry Nut Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups Fiber One Honey Clusters cereal
1 cup chopped dried cranberries (I use dried tart cherries)
1/2 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup cashew pieces
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup (I used a lite version with great results)
1/4 cup peanut butter (I use crunchy, but the original recipe calls for creamy)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

In large bowl, mix cereal, cranberries, sunflower nuts and cashews.
In 2-quart saucepan, mix brown sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
Pour syrup over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Drop mixture by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto waxed paper. NOTE: I actually coated my 1/4 cup measuring cup with cooking spray and pressed the mixture into the cup making perfect little cookies with ease.
Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
