CRITTER CRUNCH

3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons reduced-calorie stick margarine
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup animal-shaped crackers
1 cup honey-flavored bear-shaped graham crackers
1 cup crispy corn-rice cereal squares
1 cup whole-grain toasted oat cereal
1 cup tiny unsalted pretzels
1 cup bite-sized whole-wheat cereal biscuit with raisins

Combine sugar and margarine in a small bowl. Microwave at HIGH for 1 minute or until margarine melts and sugar dissolves; stir in cinnamon. Set aside.

Combine animal-shaped crackers and next 5 ingredients in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish; drizzle with margarine mixture, tossing gently to coat.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely; store in an airtight container.

Yield: 7 cups (serving size: 1 cup)
