Ho ho ho - these were good fun to make and even better to EAT! I did half a batch and subbed a little bit of splenda in place of some of the sugar. I love sweet and salty flavors together so these were right up my ally, although I think DH loved them more than I did - he could not stop eating them!

Wow, these are terrific! Mmm. So good. They remind me of the peanuts you'd find in Cracker Jacks. And so easy too. Thanks!

Addictively good. I just pulled these out of the oven and helped myself to a few (ok, a handful). I halved the recipe, but now wish that I'd made the whole thing. Perhaps because I halved it, but for me, the time to "absorb all the liquid" took about 15 minutes.
