Cinnamon Sugar Chex Mix

   I'm sorry I've been away for soooooooo long!!! 

   I've been home, but I've been busy and have hardly had any time at all to sit at the computer, write a blog, edit some pictures, stay still for more than 15 minutes! 

    But I am still here! I wanted to super-quick show up today to share this oh-so-simple and fabulous treat! 

    I first saw it on Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, and thought it looked really (reeeeaaaaally!) good! But, I hadn't gotten around to making it yet, mostly due to having a really tight grocery budget the last few months. I wasn't buying whatever I wanted to make whatever I wanted, and Chex cereal just wasn't making it on the grocery list week after week! So, when I was in a grocery store I don't normally go to, and saw they had slightly beat-up boxes of Cinnamon Chex at clear-out prices (because the boxes were a little squashed), I did a little happy dance, and grabbed two boxes! I may have also out loud said, "Oh Boy!!!". I got some side-wise glances, but, whatever! 

     I knew the recipe I'd pinned didn't call for Cinnamon Chex, but I didn't see how it would effect this treat negatively? If anything, I imagined them being even better because of the extra cinnamon-iness. That's a word. 

     So, here it is, a sweet treat worthy of every Canada Day, 4th of July, and summer BBQ you will attend!

    In order for me to mentally be ok with sitting down for a while at the computer, I had to promise myself to keep this post short! No gabbing, no going on about what I've been busy with, no nonsense, just a recipe! So, I'm signing off now! 

    I really hope to check back in here soon with a few more posts over the summer, and be sure to let me know what your plans are for the summer!
