Very good!
I am searching for healthier versions of snack food for a long car trip we are taking. This was a huge hit with the family...we will definitely be taking this one on the road with us!

CINNAMON CHEERIOS SNACK MIX
Pretty tasty I must say! I used a little less corn syrup, no peanuts-dry roasted almonds & walnuts instead. Mexican vanilla also. Once out of the oven it seemed to need a little saltiness, so I added a little coarse sea salt and tossed. I want a little more sweetness though. The honey roasted peanuts probably help with that. Good anyway!

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!
