- Cook's Notes
- You can substitute many of the ingredients if you'd like. I tried many combinations before settling on this one. Here are some suggestions:
- Use golden raisins instead of red raisins (the taste is similar, but the golden raisins add a nice color). Substitute peeled hazelnuts for pecans. Substitute shelled pumpkin seeds for sunflower kernels. Use 1 cup of almonds, 1 cup of honey-roasted peanuts and 1 cup of regular M&M's®. Substitute other types of sweets for the M&M's®, such as chocolate covered pretzels or Reese's® Pieces.

This is pretty good. I am following a paleo diet, so I skipped the oats and m&m's, but it was still good. There was way too much maple syrup by following the recipe. There were puddles of it....

I made half a recipe, followed the directions to the letter, and it turned out pretty well. The raisins and the cranberries were a little too "baked and dry," so in the future, I'll try adding t...
