Made this for my Dad--he's a fan of the pre-made chex mix so I thought I'd make him one that wasn't available in the store ;-). Really good flavor and he really liked it. Just make sure you use the "crystalized" ginger. I used the uncrystalized and it was bit hard to cut into small pieces. Plus it lasts a really long time!

Wow! This is such an exotic twist on Chex mix. I always love Moroccan spices and especially ginger, and this is the perfect play between sweet, spicy and savory. I added a bit of cayenne and some walnuts. Definitely not your mamma's Chex mix, and my kitchen smells like a casbah!
