Description
A fun and colorful sweet treat perfect for Valentine’s Day, combining Chex cereal, candy melts, and festive toppings for a delightful snack.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (divided)
- 3/4 cup strawberry cake mix (the powder, not prepared)
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup red candy melts (heaping)
- 3/4 cup white candy melts (heaping)
- 1 cup Valentine M&Ms
- 2 tablespoons Valentine sprinkles
Instructions
- Separate your Chex into 2 large bowls, placing three cups in each bowl.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix and powdered sugar, mixing them together well.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the red candy melts at 50% power in 1-minute increments, stirring until they become smooth.
- Pour the melted red candy over one bowl of Chex mix, stirring to coat evenly.
- Transfer the coated cereal to a gallon-sized ziplock bag, add 3/4 cup of the cake mix mixture, seal, and shake until well coated. Pour onto parchment paper to set.
- Repeat the melting process with the white candy melts, coating the second bowl of Chex mix.
- Add the second candy-coated cereal to a new bag with 3/4 cup of the cake mix mixture, shake until well coated, then pour onto parchment paper to set.
- Once both mixtures are set, add them to a large bowl with Valentine M&Ms and sprinkles, mixing well to combine.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
