Valentine's Day Puppy Chow

Valentine's Day treats just might be my favorite of all. Everything is pink and girly and cute and well, you get the picture. Now, while I wouldn't classify this particular treat as cute, it is super easy to make and requires no cooking. All you need is a microwave! Easy enough right?



Okay so here is what you'll need:

• 5 oz. white almond bark or candy melts
• 5 oz. red or pink candy melts
• 5 cups Chex cereal
• 1/2 cup strawberry cake mix
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• SPRINKLES! lots and lots of sprinkles!
• Valentine's m&ms (optional)

Divide the Chex cereal into two bowls (2 1/2 cups in each bowl). I usually opt for Rice Chex, but really any kind will do.

Place the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, and slowly start to melt in 30 second increments. Make sure to stir between each so the chocolate doesn't burn. It can be quite finicky! Once melted, add to the Chex cereal and lightly stir to coat evenly. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and some sprinkles. Again, lightly stir to evenly coat.

Repeat the exact same process with the red or pink candy melts, strawberry cake mix, and (duh) more sprinkles!

Allow both to dry completely, and then combine for the most perfectly delicious Valentine's Day puppy chow! If you want to get really crazy, you can even throw in some Valentine's Day m&ms. Personally, I like it without the m&ms, but I'm not real big on chocolate. I know I'm crazy. Enjoy!
