Chex, M&Ms, pretzels, oh my! The perfect mix of sweet and salty for Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
7 cups Chex cereal
2 cups mini pretzels
1 cup strawberry cake mix
¾ cup powdered sugar
¼ cup Nestle strawberry drink mix
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
Red food coloring

Instructions
Combine Chex cereal and mini pretzels and divide evenly into two separate bowls with covers.
In a separate bowl, combine cake mix, powdered sugar, and nestle strawberry mix; and whisk well to combine. Divide in half and set aside.
Combine peanut butter, butter, and milk chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals for up to 1 minute, just until melted and runny. Stir to combine. Pour over one of the bowls of cereal mix and pretzels, cover and toss to combine. Sprinkle powdered sugar/cake mixture over cereal, cover again and shake until evenly coated. Set aside.
Put the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals until melty and runny. Add red food coloring to achieve the desired shade of pink and stir to combine. Pour over the other bowl of chex/pretzel mix, cover and toss to combine. Then sprinkle the cake mix/powdered sugar mix over that cereal mixture, cover again and toss to coat evenly.
Combine both chex/pretzel mixes into one large bowl, add the M&M’s and sprinkle with valentine sprinkles. Toss to combine. Enjoy!
