---
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 T brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

In a 9x13 mix cereal and Teddy Grahams. In a small bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle over cereal mixture. Stir until coated. Bake at 250 for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on foil. Cool completely.

Stir in marshmallows and M&M's. Store in airtight container at room temp for up to 1 week.

HEARTY MULTIGRAIN SNACK
We all really liked this - made it for FHE. Good one for the kids to help with. Needs to cool for about 30 minutes.

1 egg white
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
3 cups MultiGrain Cheerios
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Heat oven to 300. Lightly grease cookie sheet.

In a large bowl, beat egg white on high speed until foamy; beat in salt. Gradually beat in brown sugar until thick and glossy. Gently stir in cinnamon, cereal and pecans until completely coated. Spread as thinly as possible on cookie sheet.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until set. Immediately remove cookie sheet to cold cookie sheet or large pan. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Break into pieces. Store in airtight container.

GULOSH
Took to Oregon Coast for Gray/Nelson Olympics. Remember Mom bringing on camping trips. Fun part about Gulosh is you can put in it whatever you want.
Got from bulk section:
granola
M&M's
peanuts in hard sugar coating
Marshmallow Mateys
raisins
chocolate covered peanuts
Fruit Loops
Would be good to add: cranberries, dried banannas

Popcorn (only add if all is going to be eaten that day - or else it makes everything taste like popcorn)

Turned out really good and everyone liked. I think it would have been better if we would have added a Chex cereal or Cheerios.
