Made it gluten free by using popcorn instead of pretzels, and used half vegetable oil and half olive oil. Tastes more like parmesan bread sticks than pizza, but still tastes very good! Very easy and makes a nice gift for those who eat a gluten free diet!!!

I did a "pantry cleanout" for this one. I used pretzels, half a box of wheat thins (that no one was ever going to finish), half a box of cheeze its (that was going to go stale), and didn't have any cereal on hand to go with this. anyhow mixed all of that together, and have a new favorite. what a money saver to use what I already had on hand, and now the neglected snacks have become something new and yummy. I also added garlic salt, basil thyme and oregano, since my mix was bland. I also doubled everything, and glad I did.

My family wasn't bowled over by these, but there was nothing wrong with them....thus the 3 stars. They were ok, but my family just did care for them. I'm glad I tried, and have to say I'm disappointed they didn't like this, I thought it would be a great addition to our snack mix collection. Thank you for sharing.

This sure is a kid pleaser! My kids like this a lot. I wasn't that impressed with it, but that's okay, since the snack mix is for my kids anyway. I will plan on making this often so I have some on hand for the kids to eat at ballgames this summer. It seems like we are never home to eat during the summer, so this will be a good snack for that. I did use the entire box of Corn Chex and the entire package of spaghetti sauce. I used half a bag of pretzel sticks since I couldn't find the nuggets, and I doubled the oil (used canola). I think I will double the parmesan cheese next time and see what that does. I know you don't need to bake it, but I did; 250 degrees for 20 minutes. I thought this helped with the flavor. Thanks for sharing.
