Very tasty, love that maple flavor! The kids loved this, too. I used walnuts, and may try with almonds or omit the nuts entirely next time. I tossed the mixture in a large stainless mixing bowl, then transferred to a smaller pyrex mixing bowl for microwaving. My microwave must cook quickly, this was very done at 4 minutes so I'd suggest checking early. Thanks, HeatherFeather, for another great recipe!
