Valentine’s Day Snack Mix

Yesterday when I was at Target I found this cute heart and O’s cereal.  Being a sucker for all things holiday, and this holiday being hearts, it was calling my name to put it in a snack mix!  So that is where it ended up….in my Valentine’s Day Snack Mix!

I thought this would be fun to have out on Valentine’s Day.  There is still time to grab what you need at the store.  It is super simple to make!  Here is what you need: 

Here is a closer look at the Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Cereal.  Like I said I found it at Target.  I’m sure they sell it at other stores too.  

In a large bowl measure out your Rice Chex Cereal.  In a small microwavable bowl add the white chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla.  Microwave it for 1-1 1/2 minutes stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the Rice Chex and stir until evenly coated.  

Place the Rice Chex mixture in a 1-gallon food storage plastic bag.  Add the powdered sugar, seal the bag, and then shake until well coated.  Let that sit aside for a few minutes.  Next, in another large bowl, or clean out the one you were using, add your Kashi Heart to Heart Oat Cereal, Valentine M&M’s, and Valentine sprinkles.  

The Valentine M&M’s mix is perfect for this!  I also found these at Target.

Add your Rice Chex mixture back into the bowl and stir it all up.  

I thought it would be fun to put some of this in little treat bags for friends and neighbors.  I found these cute treat bag toppers at Echoes of Laughter.  They worked great right over the little snack size baggies I already had.  I just printed them out on card stock and then used my paper-cutter to quickly cut them out.  

I then folded in the sides of the bag to make them fit and stapled the topper on.

So yummy!  The kids, and me, gobbled it up!  I hope you all have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
