Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Valentine's Day sprinkles
- 1 cup Valentine-themed candies (e.g., pink and red M&M's)
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzel twists, and salted peanuts.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture in the large bowl. Gently stir with a spatula to evenly coat the ingredients in the chocolate.
Add the Valentine's Day sprinkles and lightly mix to distribute them throughout the mix.
Transfer the coated mixture onto a large sheet of parchment paper or a baking sheet, spreading it out evenly.
While the mixture is still slightly wet, sprinkle the powdered sugar over the top and gently toss to coat.
Allow the mix to fully cool and harden for about 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
Once cooled, add the Valentine-themed candies (such as pink and red M&M's) to the mix, tossing gently to combine.
Store the Valentine Chex Mix in an airtight container until ready to serve. Serve as a festive snack for Valentine's Day!
