"We made this for our holiday Christmas party and it was a hit! My mods: I used both cashews and peanuts, dried cranberries instead of cherries and just realized I left out the sesame seeds (oops). I ..." See morealso added a sprinkle of salt when I had it spread out to cool. All in all, it was delicious and I will definitely make this again. Yum!"
