"Easy to make and great to serve at a get together! I’m not really sure about the servings amount, I have 12-14 listed although I could eat this all by myself :) You will need two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper (non stick foil will work well also) one to bake on and one to cool the mix on"

Original is 10-12 servings

I made up a batch of this yesterday to give to my grandchildren for Valentine's Day. I added red, white and pink M&M's in for the holiday and they are ready to go out the door tomorrow. I of course had to save a little for me to munch on and it is a great snack to munch out on anytime!
