If you're a fan of puppy chow Chex mix, you will like this chocolate Chex mix recipe. It's one of those sweet Chex mix recipes that appeals to people who like the combination of sweet and salty together. Unlike most chocolate Chex mix recipes, this one is not made with chocolate Chex cereal. Rather, chocolate chips are added to the Chex mix after the recipe is baked.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 12-14 servings
Ingredients:
- 3 cups wheat Chex cereal
- 2 cups rice or bran Chex cereal

Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- Place Chex cereals, peanuts and pretzels in a large mixing bowl.
- Melt butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired. Pour over the Chex mix, and toss to coat well.
