Ingredients
Scale
- 7 cups Chex cereal, divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
- 1 cup pink candy melts
- 1 cup red candy melts
- 2 tsp vegetable oil (or coconut oil)
- 1 cup Valentine’s Day M&M’s
- 1/2 tbsp Valentine’s Day sprinkles
Instructions
- Divide 7 cups of Chex cereal into two bowls (3.5 cups each).
- Melt 1 cup pink candy melts with 1 tsp oil in 30-second microwave intervals until smooth. Pour over one bowl of cereal and stir to coat.
- Place coated cereal in a zip-top bag with 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Seal and shake until evenly coated. Spread on wax paper to cool.

- Let set for 30 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
For a healthier twist, use dark chocolate instead of candy melts and sugar-free powdered sugar. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
