Have you tried giving Chex cereal new flavor and serve it as a snack? Here in the U.S. this is known as "puppy chow" and if you have yet to try it, I recommend giving it a try now. This is my favorite recipe to take to potlucks where they always disappear quickly, they're extremely addictive and with the touch of ancho pepper and chocolate, it's really not that surprising.
