5-Minute Sweet and Salty Chex Mix

In talking with some friends and family recently, there seems to be a worldwide debate over which chex mix dessert is better. Some people love sweet chex mix recipes drizzled with chocolate, caramel, or tossed in sugar, while others prefer salty chex mix recipes that can be seasoned to perfection with ranch, cheddar, garlic and herbs, or salt. Of course you also have those who love sweet chex mix recipes with m&ms, chocolate chips, and other tasty ingredients.
