"I had to make a few adjustments to this recipe so that I would use what I had on hand. I did NOT have Jif Creamy Peanut Butter and Honey, I used a quarter cup regular creamy peanut butter. I also did ..." See morenot have sunflower seeds, I just upped the amount of peanuts by another half cup. When mixing everything together, I did not add the cranberries only because I did not want to chance burning them. I added them after the snack mix had cooled. This was a nice snack mix--the whole family enjoyed it. If I was to make it again, I would double it and use oil in place of butter to prevent the butter from spoiling (this does happen in snack mix, trust me)."
