2 Cups of Peanut Butter (Crunchy)
2 Cups of Corn Meal
2 Cups of Oats

Additives:
2 Cups Woodpecker Mix
1 to 2 Cups Blue Bottle Fly Spikes (and /or)
1 to 2 Cups Dehydrated Mealworms

Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Additives can be added last and mixed lightly to incorporate. Use parchment paper to line the bottom of the pan to prevent the suet from sticking.
