What You'll Need

1/3 cup reduced fat peanut butter

2 cups wheat flakes cereal, coarsely crushed
1/3 cup dried apples, finely chopped
2 tablespoons walnuts, finely chopped

this sounds like a good recipe, portion size would be very important for me, it is something I would make to take to a party of some sort...but does sound very good
