Substitution: The original recipe includes Corn Chex™, Rice Chex™, and Wheat Chex™. You can mix and match to suit your taste—just use a total of 9 cups of cereal.
 
Healthy: To reduce the fat to 2 grams and the calories to 80 per serving, use 3 tablespoons margarine instead of the 6 tablespoons butter, omit mixed nuts and use fat-free bagel chips.
