Truly delish!!!! The gingerbread flavour was so great with the dried fruit and salty pretzels. YUMMO! I used swedish all natural whole rye puffs as a sub for the shreddies and threw in some peanuts just cause I had them. It was soo good, I could hardly stop myself munching. :) <br/>I left out the chocolate and decreased butter and sugar a tad to make this more waistline friendly. It didnt suffer taste wise.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Kat!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #31 February 2011.
