Peanut Butter Banana Bacon Chex Mix

Peanut Butter Banana Bacon Chex Mix

Chex™️ Cereal is a super versatile ingredient, especially when it comes to party snacks. In this version, we added peanut butter, bacon, and banana chips for an Elvis-inspired array of flavors. The sweet honey and brown sugar syrup gets baked right into the cereal and complements the mix-ins perfectly!
