This recipe can be made with Honey Nut Chex too - fun to vary with different Chex mixes to find your own personal favorite.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This makes a great after school snack! Make sure to keep it out of sight, or you may have little hands sneaking a handful or two. It's sweet, salty and has a great crunch.
