This is baking right now and it smells great also tried some before it went in and it was good too. I did a half batch and used plain Corn Chex and O cereal because it's what I had on hand and also used two cookie sheets instead of a roaster. I did have to cut back on the cinnamon a bit because we thought the sugar mix was getting a bit strong. Four stars stars since I needed to alter the seasoning but I think if you like cinnamon a lot the original would be good for you.

This is a great recipe, but I think it could be made even better with some minor adjustments. When I make this again, and I will, I plan to use an even mixture of Chex, Kix, and Honey Comb cereals, along with some pecan or walnut pieces, and I will boost the amounts of butter and the cinnamon-sugar coating by half as I didn't think there was quite enough. I did not use a roasting pan, but spread the mixture out on two cookie sheets and baked for 45 minutes, rotating sheets after 20 minutes or so and only stirring a couple of times. Overall, this is a great recipe and I'm glad you shared it. When I make this again with the adjustments I mentioned, I promise I will update my review to tell whether or not the flavor is exactly where I want it to be.
