Just had a 30th Birthday party this weekend and this was the perfect addition to the finger foods. It was just enough sweetness and crunch for our guests, I may add small pretzels next time to make it sweet and salty.

I really liked this recipe! I didn''t have any dried cherries, so I used dried cranberries instead. It was a nice change from the old stand by.... "Muddy Buddies". Give it a shot!!! :)

Love this recipe and fix it every Christmas. I could not find regular malt powder so I used chocolate. I also used cashews, which I prefer. Fast and easy.
