I don't usually review things like this - but this is a FANTASTIC snack option. It's SUPER easy to throw together, tasty, and you don't feel too guilty snacking on it. Even my kids are "sneaking" my pre-packaged baggies for their after school snacks. I highly recommend this one to anyone looking for quick, easy, yummy treats to grab on the go!
