The microwave did not make the mix as crunchy as I like, but it does
do a thorough job of cooking the mix without the problem of the
mix sticking together so badly the first cycle, as happens when you
use the oven.

This was a big hit at my house. No one seemed to mind the fact that
this mix had NO butter in it. Since I am the only one in the family
actively persuing a VLF lifestyle, I consider this a major
accomplishment !!
