Easy Valentines Day Treat
This Easy Valentines Day Treat is great for kids of all ages. It’s also wonderful for Valentine’s Day parties! This is the ultimate snack mix with homemade muddy buddies and chocolate covered pretzels that look like hearts, and chocolate candies and pink hearts. These would be great served at a Valentines Day Party with my Valentine’s Cookies ~ Cookie and Candy in One and my White Chocolate Dipped Rice Krispie Treats on a Stick.
I’ve got 3 teenagers and they will gobble up this Valentines Day snack mix! I love serving them up in ice cream cones for a fun twist.
