These were great. For the filling you have to make sure you bring the flour and milk mixture to a boil in order to remove the raw flour taste. You also have to beat the filling a good long time when you add in the cooled milk and flour mixture. These actually taste better the next day. At first the filling does simply taste like sugar and shortening but after a day the ingredients meld together and the filling becomes more creamy. If you think the filling tastes too much like bakery icing at first give it a day and you'll see a big difference.

This is for those who said the recipe is too bland. It's your own dang fault for not putting enough salt and pepper in it. I have an almost identical recipe and it calls for a teaspoon of salt and a dash of cayenne pepper.

This is NOT the "Original" Chex party mix. The original recipe does not contain garlic powder, onion powder, or bagel chips. They keep saying that this is the the original recipe that's been around for 50 years. It's not.
