More Recipes For You To Enjoy: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–
Lost my recipe for this. I am so glad to finally find it. It is wonderful, it has such a wonderful flavor.
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.
I used to make this for my kids when they were young but lost the recipe. Now I can make it for my Grandkids
thanks
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!
thanks for the posting this I used to make it for my children all the time when they were young but had lost the recipe. Workbasket was a great little magazine.
thank you so much sharing this used to make it all the time when my kids were younger and lost the recipe.
