Valentine’s White Chocolate Snack Mix Recipe

Ingredients

Snack Mix

• 2 cups Corn Chex® cereal
• 1 cup mini pretzel twists
• 2 cups Rice Chex® cereal
• 2 cups Honey Nut Cheerios cereal or plain Cheerios
• 1 cup Valentine’s Day M&M’s (red, white, and pink)

White Chocolate Coating

• 3–1/4 cups white chocolate chips (just under 2 bags)
• 1–1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil or canola oil

Toppings (Optional)

• Remaining Valentine’s Day M&M’s
• Valentine’s Day sprinkles

Instructions

1. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside to cool the snack mix after coating.
2. In a very large bowl, mix together the Corn Chex, mini pretzel twists, Rice Chex, Honey Nut Cheerios, and 1 cup of Valentine’s M&M’s. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
3. Place 3 cups white chocolate chips and the vegetable oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir for 15 seconds, then microwave for another 15 seconds. Stir until smooth and melted. If needed, continue microwaving in 15-second bursts, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
4. Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal and pretzel mixture. Quickly and gently stir until everything is evenly coated in the white chocolate.
5. Transfer the coated snack mix onto the prepared sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Immediately top with the remaining Valentine’s M&M’s and optional sprinkles. For added decoration, melt the remaining 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, put into a plastic bag, cut the tip, and pipe stripes over the mix.
6. Allow the white chocolate to firm and harden at room temperature or refrigerate for about 10–20 minutes until set.
7. Break the snack mix into pieces and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.
8. Share this sweet and crunchy Valentine Snack Mix with friends and family, and don’t forget to leave a review!

Notes

• Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
• For longer storage, freeze the mix in a sealed container or freezer bag.
• If the white chocolate is too thick to coat, add an extra teaspoon of vegetable or canola oil to thin it out.
• Use Valentine’s Day-themed candies and sprinkles for a festive look, or substitute with any colored candies for other occasions.
• Work quickly when coating the mix with chocolate to ensure even coverage before it sets.
