Moe! Larry! Cheese!'s Note:

I received this snack mix in a tin for Christmas last year. Boy! was it good. The ingredients can easily be substituted to suit your tastes. I have also made it using M&Ms or frosted mini wheats cereal instead of the marshmallows.

This was a BIG hit at my DS baby shower. I couldn't find the holiday shapes and morsels (August) so I used chocolate chips. This is a wonderful snack food and I can't wait to make it this Christmas.
