I am now officially only 1 Chex cereal away from trying all of the gluten-free ones out there now. 🙂 I have a great friend, Lisa, to thank for the Cinnamon Chex. She & I did an exchange. We were both having issues finding certain flavors, so I sent her a box of Strawberry Chex and she, in turn, sent me a box of Cinnamon Chex. The Cinnamon Chex are amazing. I think that they are in first place right now, as far as flavor goes, with Strawberry in second place. Now, I have yet to track down the super-elusive Chocolate Chex yet, so that could bump Cinnamon right out of first place, because we all know how I feel about my chocolate. When I do find the Chocolate Chex, I plan on making the following Chex Mix recipe that I found on the Chex site:
Snickerdoodle Chex® Mix
Start to Finish: 15 Minutes
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups Cinnamon Chex® cereal
2 cups Chocolate Chex® cereal
4 cups popped popcorn
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon; set aside. In large microwavable bowl, mix cereals and popcorn.
2. In 1-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave butter uncovered on High about 40 seconds or until melted. Pour over cereal mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
3. Microwave uncovered on High 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture evenly over cereal mixture; stir. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture; stir. Microwave 1 minute longer. Spread on waxed paper or paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.

I don’t think that you could go wrong with this Chex Mix. Maybe, just maybe, when we are on vacation I will happen upon the long lost Chocolate Chex. Wish me luck! 😉

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
Gluten-free is Life 
I’m so glad you liked the Cinnamon Chex! I will let you know if I find any Chocolate. 🙂
Thanks Lisa! 🙂
I’m in love with honey-nut Chex. I didn’t know we now have Cinnamon Chex! Will try and find this and make the recipe.

They should all be out in stores by June 1st.
Wow! I can’t wait to try this recipe! Somehow I think I’ll have to walk/run to burn off all those extra calories though 🙂
I know…I see lots of that Chex Mix in my future once I get my hands on the Chocolate Chex! LOL!!
i can’t wait to try this kim!
i found the cinnamon chex but it wasn’t clearly labeled GLUTEN FREE so i didn’t make the purchase
Yeah, they would be clearly labeled. Smart choice on your part! I hear that by June 1, 2009, all stores should have them. Keep looking!!!
I haven’t found them yet, but I live in such a remote place it may be September before they get here. I can hardly wait for the Chocolate Chex.
Hopefully you can find them soon!! I am now out of the Cinnamon. I hope I can find them soon, too!!

My daughter and I love the new cinnamon chex. I’ve been afraid to try the chocolate – don’t wanna love it too much! thanks so much for the post. Good eating!
