A.M. Crunchies
(Makes about 5 cups)

¼ cup oil
¾ cup maple syrup
3 cups matzo farfel
½ cup coarsely chopped almonds
½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
½ cup raisins
¼ cup copped dates
½ teaspoon minced fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.

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.
Place 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.

Note: Serve for breakfast or as a snack. You can store the crunchies for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
