Holiday Trails

J e l i s a's Note:

Great snack mix for holiday parties, I use red/green M&Ms for Xmas, pastel for Easter, all pink or all blue for baby showers, etc. Makes plenty...it's better to give them away so you don't eat them all yourself...very addicting.

This mix makes excellent Christmas gifts for teachers, neighbors, co-workers, etc. It's hard to stop eating the mix once you start. Perfect blend of sweet and salty.

Really liked this recipe. Doesn't take long to make and it sets up quick too. The only problem is hiding it long enough to give as gifts!

I made this for Christmas goodie baskets and it was a big hit!! I did not use the Oatmeal Squares and just adjusted the rest of the cerals accordingly. I also used the store brand of ceral. This is a keeper.
