• 9 my grandson got this recipe from one of his reading books at school. we left out the nuts and coconut because he doesn't like them but he really liked this snack. i cut back on the sugar to 3/4 cup and next time i will add 1 teaspoon vanilla because i like vanilla. we made it a week ago and he's already asking for it again. i guessed on the amount it made and the time to make as i didn't keep track of that.
