Rice Chex Recipes

So now that Gluten Free Rice Chex has made their way to the east coast, we are dutifully doing our duty and eating box after box. :P Today, we made treats (everybody is in ball so I'm a snack producing machine at this moment in time - Yk, they can't remember the last time they had a meal when they play ball ;)

Here's today's recipe

melt/boil 1 cup sugar with 1 cup light corn syrup

add in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

mix in 6 cups rice chex

put in 9 x 13 pan and allow to cool slightly and then drop a bag of chocolate chips in

mix well

allow to cool

Messy but sooo GOOD

Next week, I will cut the bag of chocolate to 1/2 and add in a bag of mini marshmellows.

Any other ways to use Rice Chex?? Who's had great hits so far?

I plan to use the pizza recipe on the website next week as well except put into a pan to make bars.

IF this site is any indicator of sales potential , other cereals should be going gluten-free before long. Rice chex sales should be at an all time high! My oldest is dying for kellog frosted flakes.

thanks

Stacie

i like the muddy buddies...if you havent tried those yet.

also if you can thicken the mixture up, you can crush the rice chex and make them like no-bakes. just drop them on wax paper while they cool. sooo good.

i have also made granola bars by breaking them up into pieces and adding gluten-free corn flakes. then add your favorite flavors (mine are pb and choc chips). if you can find a granola bar recipe there is a lot you can do with them.

I take a handful of walnuts and almonds, throw them in a pan with a tiny bit of brown sugar. I toast them for 3-5 minutes. During that time I melt chocolate chips, I use the dairy free kind. Then I take rice chex and honey nut chex and spread them out on a cookie sheet. I mix in the nuts with the chex and drizzle chocolate off a fork on the entire batch. Throw them in the freezer for 10 minutes and you are set. So tasty! And easy to make, almost guilt free snacking =)

Yummy recipes! Muddy buddies are still my fave, but I'm gonna try some of these. I keep envisioning some sort of rocky road something or other that I want to make w/ rice chex. I need to check out their website!

So, is this just like muddy buddies, except for you crush the chex up and make little clusters? that sounds awesome!

yeah you make it basically the same...except you make the chocolate mixture thicker (or you could maybe just use less cereal, i havent tried that way) so it makes little clusters. you can even use the powdered sugar, you just wont use as much. i am a big chocolate fan though and i like the ratio of chocolate mixture to cereal to be higher:) delicious

My family favorite is the "Monkey Munch". Here's the recipe:

1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy style (or permitted nut butter)

1/2 cup margarine , butter or ghee

6 oz chocolate chips

10 cups Rice Chex cereal

2 cups powdered sugar

1. Melt peanut butter, butter, and chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat.

2. Pour over cereal, coating all the cereal.

3. Put powdered sugar in large paper bag.

4. Add cereal and shake well until coated.

5. Put on wax paper to cool.

*****

You can also crunch up the chex and put them in meatloaf or use as a breading for oven fried chicken (though we prefer instant mashed potatoes for that!). I also had a friend use the chex to make "rice crispy treats". She just subbed the chex for the rice crispies, and it was awesome! I can't wait to try the things with the new gluten-free chocolate chex and honey chex!!

A chex heads up...Rice, Corn, and Honey Nut chex are now all gluten free!!!! I am munching on a box of honey nut ones at the moment. For the honey nut chex, they took out the barley malt and replaced it with molassas and the corn chex I believe was replaced with rice malt. The front of the box now says gluten free and the back of the box has a wonderful little gluten free tidbit. It says "the irresistible flavor and hearty crunch of honey nut chex is now gluten free. Gluten free means that honey nut chex does not contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barely." Exciting stuff!

I make Monkey Munch with cashew/macadamia nut butter or sunflower butter because daughter has a peanut allergy. It's waaaay too sweet for my tastes, but she likes it. Likes it a little too well so I don't make it often.

Wow, great to hear about the corn chex!! I'll have to look for that here. I am going to make some rice chex treats today for my daughter.

This is my favorite chex recipe, I was hoping for gluten free strawberry chex to mix with it because I sometimes add in dried strawberries or blueberries:

Tropical Chex Mix

8 cups Rice Chex

When I made them I was thinking they'd be good in a rocky road version too!

They have a section for gluten free recipes and now that the corn chex and some of the others are gluten free alot of these recipes can be made accordingly. Hopefully they will update. Also, with the exception of the wheat chex, alot of the other recipes can be adapted and things substituted. I found this one while looking for things for a halloween party and thought this would be great!

This recipe is excellent. This tastes like a brownie, but it's the consistency of a chewy rice krispie treat. We crushed the Rice Chex slightly to make them smaller and easier to chew for the kids. We only made half the recipe which is a good thing because we'd eat it all...but we put it in a 12x8 pan so it was thinner. We ate some slightly warm because we couldn't wait, and that was great too. Enjoy! Here is the original recipe from the link above:

Ingredients

6 cups of Rice Chex

1 cup of chocolate chunks/chips (make sure gluten-free)

1 pound bag of Marshmallows (any size)

1 1/2 sticks butter

Cooking Directions

Throw the butter in a big pot over low heat until melted.

Add the marshmallows and stir consistently until completely melted (10 minutes or so).

Add the chocolate and the Rice Chex, stir until the cereal is completely coated.

Scoop out the mixture and press into an 8" x 12" pan. Press to compact. Place in fridge to cool.

Once cool, slice into squares and chow down!

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After...

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      On the AIP diet, all processed foods are eliminated. This includes gluten-free bread. You'll be eating meats and vegetables, mostly. Meats that are processed, like sausages, sandwich meats, bacons, chicken nuggets, etc., are eliminated as well. Veggies should be fresh, or frozen without other ingredients like sauces or seasonings. Nightshade vegetables...

      Thank you for responding and for prayers. So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine. You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.

      When I accidentally consume gluten it compromises the well-being of my heart and arteries. Last time I had a significant exposure, about six months ago, I had AFib for about ten days. It came on every day around dinner time. After the ten days or so it went away and hasn't come back. My cardiologist offered me a collection of pharmaceuticals at the time...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hello all! My life in the last five years has been crazy. I got married in 2020 at the age of 27, pregnant with our first child almost two months later, gave birth in 2021. We had another baby in April of 2023 and our last baby this March of 2025. I had some issues after my second but nothing ever made me think, "I should see a doctor about this." After having my last baby this year, my body has finally started to find its new rhythm and balance...but things started to feel out of sorts. A lot of symptoms were convoluted with postpartum symptoms, and, to top it all off, my cycle came back about 4m postpartum. I was having reoccurring migraines, nausea, joint pain, numbness in my right arm, hand and fingers, tummy problems, hives. I finally went to my PCP in August just for a wellness check and I brought up my ailments. I'm so thankful for a doctor that listens and is thorough. He ended up running a food allergy panel, an environmental respiratory panel, and a celiac panel. I found out I was allergic to wheat, allergic to about every plant and dust mites, and I did have celiac. I had an endoscopy done on October 3 and my results confirmed celiac in the early stages! I am truly blessed to have an answer to my issues. When I eat gluten, my brain feels like it's on fire and like someone is squeezing it. I can't think straight and I zone out easily. My eyes can't focus. I get a super bad migraine and nausea. I get so tired and irritable and anxious. My body hurts sometimes and my gut gets bloated, gassy, constipated, and ends with bowel movements. All this time I thought I was just having mom brain or feeling the effects of postpartum, sleep deprivation, and the like (which I probably was having and the celiac disease just ramped it up!) I have yet to see a dietician but I've already been eating and shopping gluten-free. My husband and I have been working on turning our kitchen 100% gluten-free (we didn't think this would be so expensive but he assured me that my health is worth all the money in the world). There are still a few things to replace and clean. I'm already getting tired of reading labels. I even replaced some of my personal hygiene care for myself and the kids because they were either made with oats or not labeled gluten-free. I have already started feeling better but have made some mistakes along the way or have gotten contamination thrown into the mix. It's been hard! Today I joked that I got diagnosed at the worst time of the year with all the holidays coming up. I will just need to bring my own food to have and to share. It will be okay but different after years of eating "normally". Today I ordered in person at Chipotle and was trying not to feel self-conscious as the line got long because they were following food-allergy protocols. It's all worth it to be the healthiest version of myself for me and my family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed and a little overloaded!  I am thankful for this community and I look forward to learning more from you all. I need the help, that's for sure!

      Thank you for responding and for prayers.  So sorry for your struggles, I will keep you in mine.  You are so young to have so many struggles, mine are mild by comparison.  I didn't have Celiac Disease (celiac disease) until I had my gallbladder removed 13 years ago; at least nothing I was aware of.  Following surgery: multiple symptoms/oddities appeared including ridges on fingernails, eczema, hair falling out in patches, dry eyes, upset stomach constantly and other weird symptoms that I don't really remember.  Gastro did tests and endoscopy and verified celiac disease. Re heart: I was born with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) and an irregular heartbeat, yet heart was extremely strong.  It was difficult to pick up the irregular heartbeat on the EKG per cardiologist.  I had Covid at 77, recovered in 10 days and 2 weeks later developed long Covid. What the doctors and nurses called the "kickoff to long Covid, was A-fib.  I didn't know what was going on with my heart and had ignored early symptoms as some kind of passing aftereffect stemming from Covid.  I was right about where it came from, but wrong on it being "passing".  I have A-fib as my permanent reminder of Covid and take Flecainide every morning and night and will for the rest of my life to stabilize my heartbeat.
