I'm looking at having a party on a Friday night, but will have to get everything ready on the Monday before! I thought this would be a perfect snack for the girls!

There was no salt or baking soda, and there was a box of Golden Grahams in the mix too! I think I gained 5 pounds just making it before I even ate any!
