Great snack recipe! The recipe is Easy to make! The best thing is that it turned out just as you would want it to. Be sure to stir the mix every minute so that it coats the mix even. Such great reviews at our Super Bowl Party.

This was great. I made it for a snack to eat during some holiday movies. I also added honey roasted cashews. Thx for posting this unique recipe.
