Valentine's Day Trail Mix

Valentine's Day Trail Mix

This recipe is super easy to make. It doesn't leave a big mess behind and everyone loves it. With all of the yummy cereal and candy is this mixture, there is a little something for each member of the family. The kiddos will love it and so will the adults!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups corn chex
  • 2 cups pretzels (twist, sticks, etc. You can pick your favorite!)
  • 1-2 cups cocktail peanuts
  • 1-2 cups Very Berry Cheerios
  • 2 cups Valentine's Day M&M's
  • 1 cup dehydrated marshmallows or mini marshmallows

Directions:

  1. Mix all of your ingredients together in a large bowl and enjoy!

*You can keep this for a while at room temperature in an airtight container. Be sure the check the expiration dates on your ingredients to know just how long you can store it, although you'll probably have it all eaten long before then. It usually doesn't make it past a week at my house!

*You can easily turn this recipe into white chocolate trash by melting one 10 ounce bag of white chocolate candy melts and pouring it across the top. Just mix the chocolate in well and you're all set! You can store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

*This makes a great snack to send with your kids to school. You can omit the chocolate candies and the marshmallows to make it healthier, if you like. Since it makes a lot, you can have enough to send with them for a few days. You can also take it to work, hiking and various other adventures. It also makes a great party snack.

*I couldn't find M&M's at my local grocery store for this recipe, so I ended up using the Hershey's pieces in the tubes that were Valentine's Day themed. It takes 10 of these to equal up to 2 cups if you want to use them too.
