Valentines Chex Mix
Ingredients:
5 cups of Rice Chex

1/2 cup red and pink candy (I used Valentine’s Smarties)
2 tbsp Valentine Medley Sprinkles Mix
Directions:
Pour Rice Chex into a bowl. Place white chocolate chips, butter, and peanut butter in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 20 seconds. Stir then microwave on high for 20 seconds. Repeat in 20-second intervals until fully melted. Mix thoroughly.
Pour melted mixture over cereal and toss to coat. In a large Ziploc bag place half the cereal mixture with icing sugar, close the bag and shake to coat.
