I make this all the time for a snack mix after parties. I left out the margarine, salt, garlic salt,and the Worcestershire sauce that is listed in the steps since I didnt think they would go very well with a sweet snack mix and the amounts werent listed as well in the recipe. This is a great way to use up those left over holiday party snacks and turn them into a sweet treat!

This is very similar to a recipe we call White Trash. Not only is it good for Chirstmas but the men folk love it at Super Bowl parties!!
