This sauce is wonderful - has a great flavor and a nice kick to it! The Chex mixture is a great basic combo - other items could easily be added to this to provide a variety at times. I used Rice Chex in place of the Wheat Chex to make it gluten-free, and it was a big hit. Thanks for sharing!

This mix came out so good! I made it tonight to give away for teacher Christmas gifts. WOWEE! It's addicting. I omitted the pretzels, added Hot & Spicy cheezits, garlic bagel chips and dry roasted peanuts.
