I decided to play around with a Chex Mix recipe one day and came up with this. I made the mistake of shipping a batch to my husband and some of his fellow soldiers while he was deployed. I learned all about supply and demand after that. I had to make double and triple batches and they still ate it faster than I could make it. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It's a definite keeper! This makes a big batch of Chex mix. It can be halved with no problems. Also, maple extract is pretty potent. If you'd like a stronger maple flavor, you can increase it to 3/4 tsp.

Chex mix is a classic snack and this maple cinnamon almond version is perfect for fall. It's a combination of sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy. Once you take a bite, you'll want to keep grabbing for more.
