Almost better than candy. I opened a box of this to snack on dry, and it was the first time I have tried it since they changed the box to read "Gluten Free". I was absolutely amazed at how crunchy it was and the taste was just wonderful, slightly sweet, with just a hint of a caramel aftertaste. I think I could probably eat half of a box at one sitting. I have been trying to stay away from cookies and candy, which are a couple of my weaknesses, so for my first week of healthy snacking, I bought the Corn Chex and some baby carrots. At 120 calories per 1 cup serving, even a 2 cup splurge of eating the Corn Chex is less calories and more nutrition than any candy bar. I think sticking to the healthy snacking is going to be a little easier than I thought if I can keep myself from eating the rest of the box of cereal  : )
