This was a great recipe. I made modifications based on what i had in the pantry & to increase the fiber intake: 4 cups wheat cereal, 4 cups multigrain cheerios, 1.5 cups of bran cereal (stick/twig variety), 1 cup dry roasted peanuts, handful shelled sunflower seeds. I didn't have seasoning salt so i used garlic salt instead. I received rave reviews from everyone who tasted. I used a wide slotted scooper to filter the crumbs out of the mix, as i packaged it in cone shaped cello bags

MsSally was right about this easily been adaptable to any type of snack combo. It kinda reminds me of the ChexMix you can buy/make. I do like the added parmesan cheese you don't see in alot of the other recipes. I also omitted the celery salt and I didn't have pretzel stick so used mini-braids. I especially liked it while it was still warm from the crock-pot which I might add was also a welcome change from using my big ol roaster for such recipes. Thanks Lvs!!
