Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix

When I saw this recipe over at The Cutting Back Kitchen, I knew I need to make it quick!! She is brilliant!!  Luckily I had the main ingredients on hand, but did make a few changes due to the availability of what was in my pantry.  It was so easy to make.   Not only was it so delicious, but filled my house full of an incredible aroma!!
