I love this recipe, make it most years for Xmas, but I usually add a spoon of curry powder for bite. Sometime I use a little garlic-chilli sauce, either way it is a pleaser, especially with beer drinkers!!! and there are lots of those in Australia!!

These are delicious! I am a nuts and bolts lover and these rate five stars! I used melted butter instead of oil for a richer taste and since we don't have rice and corn Chex in Canada, I substituted Kellogg's Crispix. Everything else is great the way they are.

Another oldie but goodie recipe!! The only thing I changed was I just butter instead for oil.
