How To Make Valentine’s Day Snack Mix

In a large mixing bowl, combine two cups of Corn Chex, Rice Chex, and Cheerios.

To the cereal, add one cup of mini pretzel twists and one bag of pink, white, and red Valentine’s M&M’s.

Then, in a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips and one and a half teaspoons of vegetable oil. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue to microwave in 15-second increments until the chocolate is melted smooth.

Pour the melted white chocolate over the snack mix.

The chocolate cools quickly! Make sure to stir it fast; so the mixture gets coated evenly.

Line a large baking sheet with some parchment paper. Pour out the snack mix and evenly spread it out on the sheet to cool.

To finish my Valentine’s Day snack mix, I added a few festive sprinkles. Once the chocolate is completely cool, break the mix into pieces and serve.

How To Store Valentine’s Day Snack Mix

To keep Valentine’s snack mix fresh, store it in an airtight food storage container at room temperature.

The mix can keep for up to a week. But it’s so good…don’t be surprised if it gets devoured long before that!

Can You Store The Valentine’s Day Snack Mix In The Freezer?

Yes! You can freeze it to save for later when you’re craving a sweet treat. Or make a double batch to save and share with friends.

To freeze the Valentine’s Day snack mix, follow the recipe as directed. When it’s cool, pour the mix into an airtight freezer bag and store for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, dump the mix into a bowl and defrost at room temperature.
