I made this recipe with my class of Family and Consumer Science students and they loved it.
This recipe is so simple and delicious! You can pretty much add anything you'd like to it...nuts, chocolate, banana chips...best recipe!!
I've made this recipe for the last few years. All of us love it, and friends with children always ask for more.. This is the first thing my grandchildren go for!
I have made this several times to take to parties. It is always a big hit! People are always asking me for the recipe. Instead of adding the candy pieces, I add pecans. I mix the pecans in with the cereal at the beginning of the recipe. The pecans add a special touch to the recipe!
I've made this recipe 3 times. and I've had rave reviews. I've served it to boys and girls all between the ages or 17 to 20.
