Ingredients:

  • 6 cups (180g) Rice or Corn Chex cereal
  • 2 cups (120g) Salted micro-twist pretzels
  • 1 cup (100g) Roasted salted peanuts
  • 12 oz (340g) High-quality white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Refined coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Flaky sea salt
  • 1 cup (200g) Valentine’s M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup (75g) Conversation hearts
  • 2 tbsp (25g) Heart-shaped sprinkles
  • 1 cup (50g) Freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions:

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In your largest bowl, gently toss the Chex cereal, pretzels, and peanuts until well mixed.
  3. Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a glass bowl and microwave in 30 second bursts until the chips are mostly melted and smooth when stirred.
  4. Pour the velvety chocolate over the cereal mixture.
  5. Use your silicone spatula to turn the mixture over on itself until every piece of cereal is thinly veiled in white chocolate.
  6. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle in the M&Ms, sprinkles, and the freeze dried strawberries. Reserving the conversation hearts for the very end prevents them from getting too coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into a single layer.
  8. Scatter the conversation hearts over the top and finish with a dusting of flaky sea salt until the colors look balanced and vibrant.
  9. Let the tray sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm to the touch and no longer tacky.
