Notes

    • Stir the mixture every 20 minutes to prevent burning. If your oven does not go as low as 250 degrees, then decrease the total baking time and watch it closely to ensure it doesn't burn.
    • Make sure the mixture cools completely before storing in an airtight container.
    • Other tasty add-ins: goldfish, Cheez-its, oyster crackers, or bagel chips.
