Cocoa Chex Mix

IMG_0317

We were headed for an evening of games with our new friends, and I wanted to bring snacks to munch on. I'm a muncher. It can be hazardous to my health. I quickly decided on homemade popcorn. It is, after all, my favorite snack ever. Then my mind wandered to something chocolately. Naturally. I didn't want it to be too rich, but rather a snack on the lighter side of things so I could keep munching without feeling too guilty. Wow, I'm a high maintenance snacker, eh?

Into my mind sprung the idea for Cocoa Chex. But alas, there weren't any recipes to be found that precisely depicted my concept. So I took a little of this and little of that and VOILA! Cocoa Chex Mix.
