I make with rice chex instead of the wheat chex– but basically the same recipe. Used to use the same recipe with All Bran, but found that my family liked the lighter texture of Rice Chex better. Would love to submit some of my grandmothers near and dear recipes- but don’t know how–

I had a recipe similar to this that called for rice chex which I used to love. It also had a topping made of 1/4 crushed chex, 1 T brown sugar, and 1 T butter that you sprinkled on top before baking. Added a nice crunchy topping.

So pleased to find this recipe in printed form since I was a Home Economist if Ralston Test Kitchen in ‘63 & ‘64 with many recipes developed from the cereals but also Honeysuckle Turkeys were being released to the consumer market.
This recipe is still a favorite but I failed to bring the recipe box this winter’s stay and know I have the ingredients so I can bake a loaf for tomorrow’s Brunch!
