XOXO Valentine’s Day Snack Mix

Jump to Recipe

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

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. 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!

Valentine Sweetheart Snack Mix

And 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!

XOXO Valentine's Day Snack Mix

Prepping the Mix

First, in a large bowl, combine 4 cups Chocolate Chex cereal, 2 cups Very Berry Cheerios, and 2 cups Utz X and O Shaped Pretzels. Just like so!

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.

Tip! Be sure not to over-melt the candy coating!  It will burn and become too thick to stir and coat the mix evenly.

Mix it Up!

To mix up our picture-perfect snack, first pour the melted candy coating over the ingredients in the bowl and toss to coat, using a large spoon. Coat all the ingredients evenly. Then, immediately, sprinkle half of the 2.1 ounce container of nonpareils Valentine sprinkles over the mixture in the bowl. Stir gently to mix them throughout.

Stirring the XOXO Valentine's Day Snack Mix with Candy Coating

Spread the mixture in an even layer on parchment paper. I like to keep mine contained to a baking sheet to catch any strays.

Immediately sprinkle with the remaining nonpareils sprinkles, the heart sprinkles, 1 cup peanut M&M’s, 1 cup Cupid’s Mix M&M’s, 1 cup Very Berry Cheerios, 1 cup Chocolate Chex, 1 cup X and O shaped pretzels, and the X’s & O’s cookies.

Allow the mixture to cool completely. Break apart to serve and store it in an airtight container or baggie. 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.

      Hi Sarah! The sprinkles are purely decorative, so if you find something you like, sprinkle away! Amazon might have some that ship quickly. Enjoy!
