I haven't figured out why my mornings are so chaotic, but I think it has something to do with having a kindergartner that doesn't move very fast in the mornings. After getting her off to school, I grab a quick yogurt or piece of fruit before hitting the gym, but my favorite thing is to just steal one of the kids' granola bars. I can take a bite and set it down then come back to it or I can just carry it with me and snack on the go.
Thanks to a blog tour by MyBlogSpark, I had the opportunity to try the new Chex Mix Bars. I received a gift pack that included the Turtle flavor, but it also comes in Chocolate Chunk. Since I haven't met turtle flavored anything that I haven't loved, it wasn't much of a stretch for me to really enjoy these. They're sweet and gooey and taste more like a snack food than a whole grain product. The Turtle Chex Mix Bars are caramel-covered Corn Chex, Wheat Chex pieces, chocolate, peanuts and pretzels. Need I say more? Fine, I will... Each bar has 130 calories and 4g of dietary fiber. (Click the picture to view the nutritional facts for yourself.)

Thanks to MyBlogSpark for providing the prizes for this giveaway! And just so I don't leave you hanging about the title of this post... A turtle walked into a bar and said "I'm here to mix with the Chex." Get it? Turtle, Chex (chicks), Mix, Bar. It works, right? Yeah, there's a reason I don't write comedy bits. Go leave a comment for the drawing, no bad jokes required to enter.
I like the traditional "Chex Mix!"
Their recipe for "Peanut Butter Pie" sounds and looks delicious. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

I love chex all sorts of ways-just with milk, for a snack, as Chex Mix and Puppy chow. I think my favorite way is a recipe my mom makes for Christmas. She mixes chex, M&M's, peanuts and pretzels all together with melted white chocolate and lets it cool. Not sure what it's called, but it's delicious!
