Ingredients

  • 10 ounces white chocolate candy melts
  • 3 cups rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups cheerios
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 14 ounces Valentine gummy candy (I got mine at Trader Joe's)
  • 1 cup jelly bean hearts
  • 1 ounce Valentine sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the white chocolate into a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave in thirty-second increments, stirring between each blast of heat until all the white chocolate has melted.
  • Fold the chex, cheerios, and pretzels into the melted chocolate until evenly coated. Pour the mixture onto the sheet pan and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the Valentine sprinkles onto the mixture while the white chocolate is still melted so that it can stick. Let sit until firm.
  • Once the chocolate has set, break up any large chunks by hand and stir in the gummy candy and jelly beans.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Storage: You can store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Variation: This recipe is super versatile and you can easily swap out ingredients for something else based on personal preference. Popped popcorn is another great choice in place of some of the cereal. Or you can do Valentine M&M's instead of gummies if you prefer.
  • Candy melts: If you don't want to do gummy candies, you could use red or pink candy melts in place of the white ones to add more color to your mix if you prefer. Or do a base of white, then drizzle with melted pink or red candy melts before breaking up the cereal and adding the candy to the mix.
