Oven Roasted Maple Gorp
"The original idea for this recipe came from Rachel Ray. LOVE LOVE this snack. It is great to take with you where ever, hikes, long trips, in your desk, or even as a snack when the kids come home from school. Substitute any dried fruit and/or change the nuts to suit your taste. You can even change it around and just make it into granola."

Snowpeas said it all - EASY and SCRUMPTIOUS! This is ready in no time flat, and you could easily change the nuts, dried fruit, or M&M's (I used Reese's Pieces and sunflower seeds today), to keep it interesting. PERFECT! Made for PAC Spring 2010 - You were adopted! -
Both EASY to make and DELICIOUS! So that makes it a winner in my book! Wish I had made this back when my kids were young, they'd have yummed it right up! Thanks for a great recipe bbblampwork!
