RR: I got this recipe from my meeting. I have been wanting to make it for awhile. Today I decided to let my kids in the kitchen to keep them busy and we made these. First let me tell you that I am a big Chex Mix fan, so comparing these is kind of hard! They were not really bad and a pretty good substitute. I packaged them in snack Ziploc bags. I now have a ready to go snack when I am ready for it. I did not have the garlic chips so I added Cheerios instead. My 3 younger kids all get WIC and this is a great way to use up the cereal I get and my kids devour it!I will definitely make again!
