Try Crispix, or rice or wheat Chex instead of the corn Chex, and Kix or Multi-Grain or Honey Nut Cheerios instead of original Cheerios. Chocolate and peanut butter ball-shaped cereals are another option that tastes delish in this recipe. Off-brand cereals work, too; just pick a variety that tastes good, and that is crunchy and will hold up well in such a recipe.

Feel free to cut 1\/3 to 1\/2 of the sugar if you don&#8217;t want such the mix to be so sweet. Reducing the amount of Honeycomb cereal will also cut some of the sugar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These crunchy munchies are sure to rank high with your family and friends.
