Really easy and tasty

My teenage daughter made this (minus the raisins) for my "girls night in" movie night. It was quick and easy, and a big hit with my girlfriends! We'll definately be making this again.

Delicious Snack Food

I received the recipe for the Cheerios Cinnamon-Popcorn Snack while downloading a $1.00 discount coupon from the "Lower Your Cholesterol Challenge" e-mail, and was very pleased with the snack. It was easy to prepare, tasted great, and was an excellent, delicious, and healthy treat to consume while watching football games!
