Yep that's right, another 5 ***** STARS! I followed other suggestions: made apple chips: very thinly sliced apples, (I used red delicious), sprinkled lightly with cinnamon and sugar, baked at 200 for 2 hours; and also substituted Cinnamon Chex for Wheat Chex; used Whole Natural Almonds, not salted. Also prepared over stove top, all in one large pot. So addicting, with a family of four, this was gone within 24 hours. :o

Flavor was good, cooking method was iffy. Mine burnt in the initial 3 minutes, so I was unable to keep microwaving it for the second round if I wanted to salvage any. That being said, flavor was fantastic - used 1.5 tsp cinnamon and yogurt raisins and yogurt cranberries. Subbed cashews for almonds because I was almost out of almonds. I'll probably do again, but maybe go back to the old fashioned oven-dry, and skip the microwave altogether. I don't really trust that thing anyways...

I made 5 batches of this chex mix for school. I started out using margarine, I ran out and started using butter. Butter cooked a lot faster than the margarine. So I only cooked butter for 30sec stirred & cooked another 30 sec. I also found that 3min was too long. I have a high powered microwave so I only cooked for 2min. I did read complaints that they cooked it too long. I also used candy corn & marshmallows instead of nuts & apples.

This was gone in no time! I made this with rice chex and replaced the cinnamon with a teaspoon of "Apple Pie Spice Mix" (recipe by RobertaJ), also used golden raisins instead of yogurt-covered. While the microwave version is a lot faster than slow-baking in the oven, I found the finished mix to be a little tacky once cooled and stored in a zip-top baggie. If I were to make a large batch intended for longer storage or gift-giving, I would take the time to bake in oven to ensure proper dryness. Overall, a good munching mix... especially while at the drive-in on a cool evening.

Yum! Such a great snack. I used about half wheat chex and half rice chex, because I had both on hand. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!

Very crispy and lots of flavor. I used a mix of left over Chex cereals and was still very good. I also used the candied almonds from the store for extra flavor.

Mine came out soggy. Flavor was ok, but I wouldn't make again.

I am really enjoying this! I used golden raisins instead of the yogurt covered and skipped the dried apples since I couldn't find them at the store. I would make this again.
