Oat Snack Mix

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

I was on the hunt for a healthy trail mix recipe when I stumbled across this "oat snack mix".  This isn't really a trail mix and it's definitely not healthy, but it is AMAZING (and so easy to throw together!).  Since its debut, I have made it too many times to count -- for road trips, for tailgates and even as a birthday treat.  Everyone loves it!
