Valentine Snack Mix Recipe

Directions

  1. Combine the Rice Chex, Cheerios, Cashews, and M&Ms in a large mixing bowl and set snack mix aside.
  2. In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil and white chocolate chips. Once the chocolate is melted, let stand for 1 minute. Then pour slightly cooled chocolate over cereal snack mixture in bowl. (Don’t let cool too long or the chocolate will begin to harden.)
  3. Stir gently mixture with a rubber scraper, taking care to not crush the Cheerios or Chex Mix. Continue mixing until snack mix is entirely coated with chocolate.
  4. Pour snack mixture onto parchment paper and spread flat.
  5. Top snack mix with the desired amount of Valentine themed sprinkles of choice.
  6. Let mixture cool and set. This process usually takes about 60 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity of your home.
  7. Once the Valentine snack mix is set, gently break into bite size ‘chunks’.
  8. Store snack mix in a sealed container for up to 7 days at room temperature.
  9. Enjoy!

This snack mix looks so fun to make and the kids would enjoy eating it too. We usually have the Rice Chex, Cheerios, Cashews, and M&Ms on hand for baking too.
