    Nice, basic snack. I found it a bit bland with only olive oil & parmesan so I added the juice of one lime and loads of black pepper before cooking. Delicious!

    I use Corn Chex and Rice Chex when I make Party Mix at Christmas. This seems to be a variation of that recipe. You could also try 3 cups of Chex cereal and 1 cup of Cheezits (Chedder Jack is my favorite) 1 cup of pretzels and 1 cup of mixed nuts. Hope this helps!!

    What type of whole grain cereal did you use? I would love a suggestion.

    I cut down the time to 13 minutes and it turned out great. I also added a couple shakes of garlic powder in with the parmesan.... huge hit at our house. Rye chips aren't a bad add-in either.

    I tried this idea three times and each time it came out burnt. I am not sure if itn n n n n n s the temperature or what? It seems something needs to be adjusted on this recipe.
