Nice change from regular Chex Mix. I'm a huge fan of Chocolate Chex and this recipe did not disappoint - the only thing I struggled with was the white chocolate drizzle - had an off brand of white chocolate chips that did not melt well - next time I'll use the good stuff!

Wow! I expected these to be good, but they're even better than I hoped. Not too sweet, but very decadent. They're extremely easy to make, especially using the microwave. I drizzled both white and dark chocolate over them. They didn't last very long, so be prepared to make more than one batch.

Very good! Even better with white chocolate and milk chocolate drizzled over it in the end.
