-
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon & pumpkin pie spice.
-
Put the walnuts, almonds, Chex, and pepitas in a large bowl.
-
In a third bowl, stir together pumpkin puree, maple syrup & vanilla.
-
Spoon the pumpkin/syrup/vanilla mixture over the nuts & cereal and add the sugar and spices. Stir until everything's well coated and evenly distributed.
-
Spread the mixture on a cookie sheet and bake in a 250-degree preheated oven for 30 minutes. Stir several times while baking to prevent burning.
-
After cooled to room temperature, stir in the raisins and chocolate chips and store in an airtight container.

Optional: If you'd like to add a little extra cinnamon/spice flavor, you can toss in a little extra pumpkin pie spice & cinnamon at the end. Just a teaspoon or two of each should do the trick, but use as much or as little as you'd like.
