    I loved the Tiki Snack Mix! I would not have thought of that combination on my own, ever:) It was yummy with just the right combination of sweet, salty, savory and a bit of a kick. Can’t wait to have it again while watching a game or hanging out with friends on the back deck.

    Oh, oh, oh, this is so good! This is delicious and easy to make. I am wondering if I could throw in some maraschino cherries? Thank you for sharing!

      Of course you can, it is about your taste buds not mine. You might need to play with the proportions, I would start with a small amount and build up, cherries have a strong flavour when dehydrated and you do not want to stop the balance that it has, so build slowly, start with a cup and add in 1/4s would be my suggestion.
