It was an instant hit at a work party! I did, however, alter it a little by adding more butter (b/c there simply wasn't enough to coat THAT much mix), chocolate, and pretzels (just a few of them though).

Yum! It tastes like pumpkin pie but only in snack mix form. The kids and my husband loved it. I am going to make this again for our Halloween party.

This is delicious. I made it several times during last Christmas holidays and couldn't keep the bowl full. Everyone loved it.

Yum! Had to substitute Rice Chex for some of the cereal, but it came out great!
