Delicious
It all went well except I'm curious if mine over-baked. The sugar mixture seemed over-baked and kind of hard.Overall great taste !

Loved it!
This is a great snack and so easy to make. It would be very good with vanilla or almond flavoring, I will try that next time. We spend a lot of time on our boat and in our car, and this will be a great and not so messy snack to take with us!

GREAT
This is a great recipe! I also added a teaspoon of vanilla or almond flavoring. Instead of pecans, try another nut like almonds, it gives it a different, yummy taste. I took this on vacation with me and it was an awesome road snack.

great snack!
This is a great snack for on the go people like me! It's super simple and easy to make. I put the cereal mix and dried fruit in a plastic bag and eat this for breakfast.
