INSTRUCTIONS
Once the cereals were mixed together, I added the wet ingredients separately from the dry spices, trying to get as much of an even coverage as possible. The mix was smoked in batches over applewood chips for an hour, then finished in the oven.
The cashews were smoked separately, then finished roasting in the oven with a little butter and the dry mix. They were added at the end.
