🍴 Tips & Variations
-
Savory version: Skip the sugar and cinnamon. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, or chili powder.
-
Nut-free: Use extra pretzels and cereal, or add roasted chickpeas for crunch.
-
Make it festive: Add holiday-colored M&M’s or candy-coated chocolates for seasonal fun.
If you like, I can also give a microwave “5-minute Snack Attack” version for a super quick, gooey, sweet-salty treat.
Do you want me to do that?
