Everyone loved it even and especially the adu..." See morelts! I made it in a disposable turkey roaster and put it in the oven instead of the microwave. I couldn't find chocolate chex mix so I added m&m's and threw marshmallows in it as well. I've had a few people ask me for this recipe since then. I'll definetly be making it again!"
