Valentine Chex Mix

The kids have Valentine’s Parties coming up soon at school, so I thought I would start thinking about sweet treats now.  I love Valentines Day because it is all about love and kindness.  Some may think it is overly mushy but I think it is fantastic! Plus my daughters birthdays fall awful close to valentines which means I get to take advantage of all the pink and red decorations for birthdays! 😉

This yumminess is like chex mix married muddy buddies.  It is such a tasty treat, I dare you to eat just a little bit! My kids mixed in sprinkles, conversation hearts, and red M&MS.  However, you could mix in any red and pink candies….they came up with a list, just in case you needed some help.

• Red M&Ms
• Twizzler Bites (not gluten free)
• Red Skittles
• Conversation hearts
• Red & Pink Runts
• Red & Pink Jelly Beans
• Red & Pink Mike & Ikes
• Peppermints
• Valentine candy corn
• Nerds

You need to mix up a batch of this and give it a try! It’s so good!
