Valentines Chex Mix Ingredients
- Cheerios cereal: use your favorite cereal, just keep in mind that ones with coating like Cinnamon Toast Crunch can mess up the white chocolate coating, stopping it from evenly and smoothly spreading across the snack mix.
- Rice Chex cereal: you can swap this with corn Chex, multigrain Chex and more.
- Peanuts: swap for any nut you’d like.
- Pretzels: use rods, snaps, twists, and more.
- Valentine’s M&M’s: with red, pink, and white candy coating, this candy makes the Valentins Chex mix recipe festive!
- White Chocolate: you can use white chocolate chips or white chocolate candy melts.
