If you use chocolate Chex it doesn't have to be refrigerated. I used yogurt covered raisins instead of the nuts.

I just made this recipe with the intention of mailing it to my daughter when I see that it requires refrigeration. Has anyone ever mailed this and if so what were the results? It would take up to 4 days. Thanks!
