    This was a good change of pace from regular Chex mix. However, at the second stirring (after 4 minutes) the fruit was totally charred and the cereal was scorched in places. If I make this again, I would add the fruit after microwaving.

    The tropical chex mix is the best you have ever had..We just bought for the first time and will buy it again... do you ever have coupons to use on these products at our grocery store and Wal-Mart? If so can you mail us some to use right now? It's really the best mix out there right now. We have been to Hawaii and it reminds us of paradise every time we eat it... Thanks for this mix and please keep it on the market.... Sincerely, Jacque
