I never heard that name for Chex Mix.

Yeah, Crispix is a new cereal compared to the others.
I remember the first time I ate Shredded Wheat - UGH! Fooey!

I have been buying Rice Cakes since I can't find Quaker Puffed Rice anymore.

 EV> 1 Cup Salted Mixed Nuts

Sometimes We break up Pretzel Rods or Small Pretzels.

 EV> 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

 EV> 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder

We made Onion Powder using Onion Flakes (I think that is what it is called)
and grinding it up in the Osterizer.

 EV> 6 Tbsp. Margarine or Butter
 EV> 5 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce

Glad I posted the Recipe.
