    OMG. Corey, you just made this pregnant woman green with Chex mix craving! Tragically I’ve never seen Chex cereal in Belgium, nor the Netherlands, where we sometimes go. But I am going to beg the local British store to see if they will order some–it’s probably available in the UK… In the meantime–mmm, wow, thank you for the taste memories!

    1. Haha! Oh I hope you can get your hands on some Chex cereal!!! 🙂

    Hi, the links to the recipe don’t appear to be working…

  4. 5 stars
    I’ve been making this for several years and everybody loves it and asks for it every year. We can’t get vanilla chex anymore – I think they stopped making it. This year I found vanilla spice Cheerios and they worked great!

    1. Yum! That sounds like a yummy substitute!
