I really, really liked this recipe! I made it exactly as writte. The only problem I had was that the mixture burned a bit in the oven. I should have watched it more carefully. Next time I might reduce the heat to 300 and keep my eye on it better. This was a yummy mix of sweet, salty, chewy and crunchy. A great afternoon snack without much trouble! Thanks for sharing!
