NUTS AND BOLTS
This recipe makes a good-sized batch of munchies to take camping or for snacks around the house. For a really HUGE batch, use a box/package of each dry ingredient and double or triple the seasonings, depending on your taste. The recipe is really forgiving - add or substitute cereals and seasonings to match your personal taste!
