As my son said, "What's not to love about peanut butter, chocolate & powdered sugar?" I agree. I didn't use Crispix cereal though, I used the box of corn Chex that I already had, and t was still tasty. Thank you for the recipe.

This is an awesome snack!! My kids love this. It makes a lot, too, so I took it to our church's youth conference. I didn't put it in a grocery sack but put it in a huge pot and turned the mix over with fork. Thanks, CindiJ! Made for Spring PAC '08
