  1. This is delicious! <br/><br/>One word of caution for others - I forgot to use the butter spray when I first put it in the oven, and the pieces got a little stuck together. I was able to unstick and stir and added the spray after the first 30 minutes and everything turned out fine, but the egg-whites will clump the pieces together.<br/><br/>I love that this is so healthy! Egg whites have all the protein of the egg! My family likes a lot of 'flavor', so I've always doubled the sauce-mix topping, and I always use low-sodium varieties of all ingredients. We use only the store-brand 'whole wheat' chex for added nutrition and fiber. All in all it makes a GREAT snack. Now that I've found this tweak with the egg whites, I'm even happier with it!<br/><br/>Thanks for posting this Chef MB!!
     
  2. Such a clever way to distribute the seasonings!
     
  3. This turned out great! I didn't have cheerios so I upped the amount of the chex cereal and pretzles. Thanks for the recipe!
