This stuff is addictive! I made mine in the oven, one hour at 250 degrees, stirring every 15 minutes. The flavor varies quite a bit by the type of barbecue sauce that you use.

I picked this because my boys love BBQ everything. It was just okay for them, and almost the entire batch that I made to take to a family gathering came back home, while other chex versions were gone. I don't think I'll make this again.

Tasty! Unusual combination of sweet, salty, tangy and crunchy. Very little added fat, too. I think I undercooked mine a bit, being careful not to burn it in my microwave. Quick and easy and DH and the kids enjoyed it! Thanks, Molly, for sharing the recipe!
