Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a 15 1/2-inch x 10 1/2-inch baking pan with butter-flavored cooking spray.
Use butter flavored cooking spray. Add chickpeas to skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until beans begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer chickpeas to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the beans with cooking spray. Bake, stirring frequently, until beans are crisp, about 20 minutes.
Lightly coat a baking sheet with butter-flavored cooking spray. Put the cereal, pineapple, and raisins in the pot. Add roasted chickpeas​​. Stir well.
Combine honey, Worcestershire sauce and spices in a large glass measuring cup. Stir well. Pour the mixture over the snack mix and toss gently. Spray the mixture again with cooking spray. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent mixture from burning.
