Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Having an extra set of hands is especially helpful when pouring the sauce over the cereal so that one person can pour and one can stir.
  • tip 2
    Party stores carry cellophane bags in designs for all seasons. Keep these bags on hand to give Chex® mixes any time of year.
