This is wonderful fast-to-fix munchie. The recipe makes a generous 24 cups and doesn't involve any cooking. It's a cinch to package in individual snack bags, keeps its crunch and is a savory alternative to the cakes and pies usually offered at bake sales. -Linda Murphy Pulaski, Wisconsin

I have made this recipe since it first came out in fall 2001. I have made it for my son to take on band competitions to share with the bus load of band members and since he graduated 3 years ago, I still get requests for this mix through my daughter who is now traveling to band competitions. I use the multi-colored Gold Fish and this adds great Fall color to the mix. Great recipe, our favorite snack mix!

Easy to make but seemed a little too salty. Maybe next time I would use no-salt pretzels to cut down on the salt.
