Here is a favorite snack of mine that I find addictive. I love to give them as gifts during the holidays in gift wrapped covered coffee cans with a plastic bag lining the inside.—Betty B. Claycomb, Alverton, Pennsylvania

2 packages (6.6 ounces each) Goldfish cheddar crackers
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1 cup packed brown sugar
