1. Heat the oven to 250°F (120°C) and set out a large roasting pan or two rimmed baking sheets.

2. In the pan, combine the Honey Nut Chex cereal, Rice Chex cereal and whole cashews, and spread them out evenly.

3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine with the brown sugar, honey and salt, stirring until smooth and bubbling, about 3 minutes.

4. Pour the warm honey mixture over the cereal and cashews and stir until everything is evenly coated.

5. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so the mix toasts evenly.

6. Let the mix cool completely in the pan, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep it from clumping.

7. Stir in the dried cherries and toasted sesame seeds, then break up any large clumps.

8. Store the cooled mix in an airtight container at room temperature.
