Yet another delicious snack enjoyed during the evening time here. It sure didn't last though as the 4 of us really enjoyed this recipe, Wonderful flavors here, and enjoyed. The only thing I did different was use 1/2 cup corn chex, and 1/2 cup rice chex. Made for PRMR tag..

yum!! this was so sweet, buttery and fantastic! my 3 yo dd and i made this for a snack this afternoon. it was very easy to put together and the only change i made was to use cinnamon life instead of chex since that's what we had around. this is a yummy keeper, thanks! made for photo tag!

NICE, NICE, NICE, but with 4 of us around when I made it, there was no reason to store it in an air tight container ~ It didn't last any time at all! Really enjoyed the orange flavor from the zest, & I'll certainly make this one again! [Made & reviewed this as a recipenap in Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 19]
