Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup pink candy melts

Finishing Touches

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workstation: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to easily spread and cool the mixture and to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the Chocolates: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the white chocolate chips and pink candy melts together. Stir every 30 seconds until smooth and fully combined, being careful not to overheat to avoid burning or clumping.
  3. Mix the Cereal and Vanilla: Place the Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl and stir in the vanilla extract to infuse warmth into the cereal before coating.
  4. Coat the Cereal: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cereal. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat every piece evenly with the luscious pink and white chocolate blend.
  5. Add Powdered Sugar: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag or a sizable mixing bowl. Shake or toss with powdered sugar in batches until each piece has a snowy, sweet coating.
  6. Sprinkle Some Love: While the mixture is still slightly warm, add sprinkles or edible glitter if desired, so they stick and add extra Valentine’s charm.

Notes

  • Use fresh cereal to ensure the mix stays crunchy and fresh longer.
  • Temper the chocolate by melting slowly and stirring frequently to avoid grainy texture or burning.
  • Use a gentle folding motion when coating the cereal to cover all pieces without breaking them.
  • Allow the mix to cool completely on parchment paper before storing to prevent clumping.
  • Personalize toppings with heart-shaped sprinkles or themed decorations for extra festive appeal.
