XOXO Valentine’s Day Snack Mix

What’s sweet, salty, and made with 100% true love? This XOXO Valentine’s Day Snack Mix delivers a festive treat that’s sealed with a kiss!

XOXO Valentine’s Day Snack Mix

I never grow tired of creating holiday snack mixes. Wandering the seasonal aisles at Target in search of adorable, sweet nibbles to share with my family and you–I can’t believe I get to do this for a living! Seasonal treats change every year, which allows me a new creative challenge each holiday.

I love a holiday snack mix. There’s always something yummy and fun! Check out the Valentine Sweetheart Snack Mix from years past for another fun Valentine’s mix that you’ll gobble up by the fistful! It’s a tried and true treat that we enjoy all February long! For a great every day snack mix, try SuSu’s Cereal Snack Mix or my ultra yummy Churro Snack Mix!

Tasty Treasures

This year’s trip to the seasonal aisles ended with so many treasures in my cart. My XOXO Valentine’s Day Snack Mix turned out so darn cute! Just look at my haul! See the links throughout the post to easily add each ingredient to your shopping cart for pick-up or delivery.

Sweet and salty. Pink, white, and red. I can’t wait to get started on this super cute, super festive mix. Let’s go!

Supplies:

• Large bowl
• Microwave safe bowl
• Large spoon
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper

• Then, in a microwave safe bowl (or the container the candy coating comes in), melt the vanilla candy coating according to package directions. It usually takes about 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Stir every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.

• Pour the melted candy coating over the ingredients in the bowl and toss to coat, using a large spoon.
• Coat all the ingredients evenly.

• Spread the mixture in an even layer on parchment paper. I like to keep mine contained to a rimmed baking sheet to catch any stray sprinkles.
• Immediately sprinkle with the Valentine’s nonpareils and the heart-shaped sprinkle sections from the sprinkle containers.

• Next, top the mix with 1 cup Cupid’s Blend Regular M&M’s, 1 cup Valentine’s Peanut M&M’s, 1 cup Very Berry Cheerios, 1 cup Chocolate Chex, 1 cup X and O shaped pretzels, and 2 cups X’s & O’s Shaped Frosted Cookies.
• Allow the mixture to cool completely. Break apart to serve and store it in an airtight container or baggie and enjoy!

Storage

Store it in an airtight container or baggie at room temperature. We keep an airtight glass jar full on our kitchen counter all month long. It also makes for such a great treat to bag or box up and give as Valentine’s Day gifts to your friends and neighbors.
