Delicious! Easy-to-make and fast. Used chocolate sprinkles rather than the colored ones. Rave reviews from all. They couldn't believe how easy this is to make! The half batch doesn't go very far, but a great way to try a new recipe. Definitely a keeper!

I found that one box of cereal, one bag of chocolate, etc makes 3 batches of this. It is very good. I put some in plastic bags and ties with red ribbon. I though it would also be good with dried cherries or cranberries. Maybe i'll try that next year.
