I was very happy to find out that General Mills started making gluten-free Chex (Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Chocolate Chex, and Strawberry Chex). I liked that this cereal was not ultra-sweet, and that it included some whole grain rice. These healthy attributes may be canceled out, however, when I use these new Chex in an old Chex Party Mix recipe I have (basically sauteed Chex cereal with butter, Worcestershire sauce, peanuts, gluten-free pretzels,...that kind of thing).
