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.

Easy Valentines Day Treat

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.

Instructions for Muddy Buddies:

Muddy Buddies are one of those snack items that is a great treat any time of year.  It’s an easy recipe to make and you can really put your own spin on it and get creative too.  (affiliate links provided for your convenience)

• ¼ cup peanut butter

• ¼ cup butter

• ½ teaspoon vanilla

• 4 ½ cups rice Chex

Add chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter to a small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine rice and corn Chex.

Pour chocolate mixture over Chex and stir until coated.

Place half the mixture in a one-gallon bag and add ¾ cup powdered sugar. Shake to combine. Pour onto waxed paper to cool. Repeat with other half of mixture and powdered sugar.

These chocolate covered are a favorite in our home too.  They are easy to make and they can be changed up for any season too.

• 25 mini pretzels (these are the ones I used)

Melt chocolate according to package instructions.  Dip mini pretzels in the chocolate, making sure to cover the entire pretzel.

Sprinkle pink decorating sugar on each pretzel.

Allow to cool and set completely.

Fill each ice cream cone with 1/3 cup Muddy Buddy mix.

Top with one chocolate covered pretzel heart.

Add red chocolate candies and sprinkle with pink heart sprinkles.
