Chex does have an entire gluten-free page of recipes. Unfortunately, they all have casein in them. However, recipes can be modified. I've done some here for you.
Ginger Rice Crunch
Use Smart Balance buttery spread (Meijer) instead of butter
Tropical Island Chex Mix
Use Smart Balance buttery spread (Meijer) instead of butter
double check the dried fruits
Chex Party Mix
Use Smart Balance buttery spread (Meijer) instead of butter
Use Braggs Liquid Aminos (Health Nut) instead of Worcestershire sauce
Use only GF Rice Chex, last I checked the others are not safe.
Pretzels - EnerG Wylde pretzels (Kroger, Better Health)
Bagel chips - you'll need to omit or find a GFCF substitute. I like Mary's 'gone crackers'
and the awesome dessert!
Chex Muddy Buddies (Puppy Chow)
Chocolate chips - Enjoy Life (Meijer or Better Health) Yumm-o!
+we have used organic cocoa powder and toasted carob powder in lieu of the choc chips.
cereal - use only GF Rice Chex
Use Smart Balance buttery spread (Meijer) instead of butter
vanilla - double check your bottle. I've found GF vanilla at almost every store I've listed.

Popcorn
Old Skool!
Use a nice size pot, heat olive oil in the bottom on high. (I put one kernel in and when it pops, I know it's ready)
Add the popcorn kernels, give it a little shake to coat all kernels, and put the lid on crooked so air can escape, but not the popcorn. Shake periodically.
When popping slows, immediately remove and dump into a bowl. Sea salt if desired.
For something different, you can sprinkle coarse grind black pepper on the kernels before they pop and you popcorn will be peppered.
