My sister made a sweet cereal snack mix to bring to my Christmas Eve party this year. I remember her saying that her recipe used Quaker Oatmeal Squares cereal, so I decided to see if I could find the recipe here. I believe this is the same recipe. I made the recipe as stated, except I halved all of the ingredients as I didn't want 10 cups. I think my sister's turned out a tad sweeter. I'm thinking about adding a touch of honey next time I make it.
