I always have tons of cereal to use up, so this was a nice way to do something a little different with it! Super sweet and very good. I used the Crispix as written, and saltine goldfish. Since I started using reusable shopping bags I no longer have large brown ones around, so I used the biggest Pyrex bowl I have which just barely fits in my microwave - and which just barely contained the huge amount of mix this makes! I have a 5 qt. ice cream bucket FULL to the brim of this yummy stuff. My kids were ecstatic about their special after lunch treat today, thanks! Made for PAC Spring '11.
