Snickerdoodle Chex Mix

This may not be new at all to many of you, but it is to me! Someone brought some little snack bags full of a sweet Chex mix to the office before Christmas and gave everyone their own – there was quite a buzz about it right away. It was WONDERFUL and no one had tasted this before. Wellllll, I was at the store that night and right there on the Cinnamon Chex box was THE recipe woohoo! The mix I tasted used butter flavored “puffcorn” instead of popcorn which just melted in the mouth like a pinch of a cinnamon bun …. And I don’t believe it had the Chocolate Chex in it, so I used Cinnamon Chex plus Rice Chex and the “puffcorn”. This is addicting, be warned!
