I have coworkers that love anything Snickerdoodle like. I just made this and it is really easy and good. I did however make the second batch with 1/4 C. white sugar and 1/4 C brown sugar. I think it made for a nicer coating. Oh and I used Cinnamon Chex. But there certainly isn't anything wrong with this recipe either. Thanks!

Spectacular! This is SO easy and SO tasty! It tastes like homemade buttery cinnamon toast crunch! I did this as a trial run to put into gift baskets and I think we have a winner! :) My mind is spinning thinking of additions I can do to bring this over the top! I am thinking of adding chopped pecans as you cook the Chex and of also adding broken dried apple pieces and dried cranberries for a tart and chewy contrast. This is simply amazing! I am thinking I will need to go buy some stock in Chex...

So easy - So good! Made the first batch - the family had it half gone in less than 5 minutes. Made a second batch right away - hopefully there will be some left for me to take to work tomorrow! I'm sure this will become one of our "staple" snacks. Thanks for sharing!
