I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit them from this recipe. It still turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my snack mix turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much flour.

This snack mix is a little too expensive for my taste. I think I'll try making my own next time.

I thought this snack mix was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be.

This snack mix was a little too sweet for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try using less maple syrup next time.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this snack mix was just the right amount of heat for me. It was also really sweet and salty, which I loved.
