This mix has a great flavor and I had to put it away ASAP because I kept snitching a piece or two while it was cooling. I used only butter (we don't eat margarine) and substituted Reese's Puffs for 4 cups of the Chex. I also added some M&M's. Perhaps because of my substitutions, the finished product came out somewhat greasy, but I am pretty sure it could be done with less butter. This was easy to make is a great way to use up odds & ends boxes of cereal. If I discover the perfect amount of butter, I will report back. Thanks, KBlakeley!
