A.M. Crunchies<\/b>
\n(Makes about 5 cups)<\/p>\n

¼ cup oil
\n¾ cup maple syrup
\n3 cups matzo farfel
\n½ cup coarsely chopped almonds
\n½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
\n½ cup raisins
\n¼ cup copped dates
\n½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
\n¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/p>\n

In a heat resistant, microwave-safe bowl, combine oil and syrup. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, stirring once, until boiling. Add farfel and nuts and mix well, so dry ingredients are coated.<\/p>\n

Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes, stirring twice. Mixture will be sticky when it comes out of the microwave. As it cools, it will become crisp.
\nPlace mixture in a storage container and allow it to cool, stirring several times to break it up into pieces. Finally, stir in raisins, ginger, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

Note: Serve for breakfast or as a snack. You can store the crunchies for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.<\/p>\n
