Who doesn’t love a good Chex mix? I sure do! I must say that my favorite part of the traditional Chex mix that my great-grandmother made was the wheat Chex. Now, I was so excited when I noticed a recipe for cinnamon-apple Chex mix in a Chex ad in my recent Taste of Home issue.
The recipe uses just the wheat Chex and has the fabulous fall flavors of apple and cinnamon. The original recipe called for vanilla-yogurt covered raisins. I decided to use vanilla-yogurt covered craisins instead. The other thing I loved about this Cinnamon-Apple Chex Mix recipe is you make it in the microwave and is ready in 15 minutes.
