peanut butter snack mix (family recipe)

Hi fans of recipes from an autistic chef, once again I have a family recipe from my aunt Carol on my mom's side of the family.  It is a very sweet but addictive snack I made these for the police officers I made this with a Pinterest inspired popcorn hack and itI worked out very well. So much better for you. I'd be making that way for a while at anytime. So will give you some popcorn flavor ideas soon ok here's the popcorn hack idea start with 1/3 cup and microwave 3 minutes on high just watch it do not let it burn. So made for the nice group of police men and women of a south San Francisco have a jolly holiday
