Notes

Notes – You can use a store-bought foil pan if you don't have a roasting pan. Be careful to support the bottom of the pan as it's not very strong, but it works fine..
Substitutions – Use your favorite cereals and snack mix add-ins. To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free cereals and pretzels.
Storage – Store in an airtight container or zip-top bag for a few weeks. Store in the freezer for a few months.
