This recipe is very flexible...
add more chocolate chips if you like or
you could use half a cup of milk chocolate chips and
half a cup of butterscotch chips melted...yum!

You can even make this snack mix into bars.
After gently tossing everything together,
simply pour snack mix into a 13 x 9 baking dish,
press mixture down and cut into bars..
