It is made from regular stuff that I recognize as food, something that would find success for grazing at parties or even on the bar of your favorite watering hole. Good by the handfuls, it is equally good as toppings for assorted foods such as ice cream and, of course, as your morning cereal. There are several flavors, including my favorite: cranberries, honey sea salt and cinnamon pecan.<\/p>\n<p>So there it is, some good news when we need it, something to chew on.
