CHEX CAJUN KICK



Chex Cajun Kick image

I've been on a Chex Mix kick since I found the winners of a Chex contest. My work has been greatly enjoying the fruits of my labor (since cereal is bad for my hypo-glycemic husband). They were enjoying the sweet mixes, so I was a little hesitant about the spicy choice, but one and all loved this one, too!
