Mix Snacks
Here's all the varieties of Crispix mix snacks I have, the Puppy Chow is the favorite of the kids of course, and they can make it themselves pretty much. I think the first time I heard of the Puppy Chow recipe was in the middle 1980's. So it's popularity has withstood the test of time.
Some
of these Crispex recipes you can do in the microwave, but I like the ones you
do in the oven. Below you'll find the Puppy Chow Recipes, Sweet Minglers, Original
Recipe, BBQ Style, Cinnamon Crispix, Nacho Crispex, Cheesy Pizza Crispix, Sweet
Crispex, and 
Maple
Crispex. Also see Chex Mix Recipes
