This was very easy and very tasty. Caution-it can be addicting. Once you start eating it, you can't stop. I used M'M's instead of raisins. Looked great on the Halloween party table.

I have been making this snack mix recipe since I saw it back in 2002. My kids request it every year! It is a great combination of sweet and salty.

First I made my home-made caramel corn thenI substituted dried cranberries for the raisins and opted for cashews instead of peanuts. What a delightful treat.
