Corn Chex®, Rice Chex® and Wheat Chex®. You can mix
and match to suit your taste--just use a total of 9 cups of cereal.
- To reduce the fat to 2
grams and the calories to 80 per serving, use 3 tablespoons margarine
instead of the 6 tablespoons butter, omit mixed nuts and use
fat-free bagel chips.

mix to package up as gifts for special friends--it’s so
good and always a welcome surprise!
