Great snack recipe! The recipe is Easy to make! The best thing is that it turned out just as you would want it to. Be sure to stir the mix every minute so that it coats the mix even. Such great reviews at our Super Bowl Party.

This was great. I made it for a snack to eat during some holiday movies. I also added honey roasted cashews. Thx for posting this unique recipe.

Absolutely fantastic!!! I made one batch without nuts for the kids and one with nuts for adults. So, so good! Sweet and crunchy and quick to make in the microwave. Be careful with cooking time as mine was done at 4 minutes. Thanks, Chris, for a super recipe!
