LOVED IT!
My family absolutely loved this healthy alternative to trail mix. I wanted a little more variety so I substituted two cups of the cereal for 1 cup of bran Chex and 1 cup of Fiber One. I also used Splenda brown sugar and added a few walnuts. I can't wait until Spring Break is over so I can take it to work to the teacher's lounge.
