Baker’s Bits: This flexible recipe is a variant of the Original Chex Party Mix ™ by General Mills, minus the nuts, with the added bonus of a great pantry-cleaning way to use up leftover cereal and snack cracker bits you have on hand. We use this topper for soups all the time, but it also makes an excellent addition to a beautiful salad. Package this in snack-size zippered bags for a savory, crunchy treat.
