Chocolate (Carob) Cereal Snack Mix

Sorry about the picture, I know it's awful!

During the holidays my younger sister likes to make what she calls, Muddy Buddies. They always have looked so good but oh so fattening and made with all of the things I can't have. So when I came across this recipe, that is similar to the one she uses, I just had to try it. They are so yummy! This is another treat that you can make and take over the Holidays and not feel as guilty eating them. It's also double nice that they are so easy to make. :]
