These turned out really well. I will definetly make again. I just put all the ingredients in a large ziplock baggie and shook them up. I added a few shakes of garlic salt as well. YUM!

Ok like other reviewers I cheated a bit...but doesn't change the fact that these were great. We were eating them right out of the oven...didn't even wait for them to cool down. Thank you for posting. Definately a keeper.
