Oat Snack Mix

I mentioned yesterday that I've been revisiting a lot of my old favorite recipes.  I make this Oat Snack Mix ALL the time.  Since it was originally posted 2+ years ago, in my very first week of blogging, I thought I'd share it again!  Its the perfect snack to bring to any occasion and everyone loves it!  You can mix it up with various cereals and mix-ins.
