Notes

  • I have used Cinnamon Chex cereal to make this recipe and omitted the cinnamon and Honey Nut Chex cereal as well and used cinnamon. I will now use the Cinnamon Chex Cereal now at every opportunity. If it's available to you I urge you to try it at least once. Otherwise you can enjoy it the way we did for years with original Chex cereal or Corn Flakes!
