I’m sure I tell y’all this every year but Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday.
I love any excuse to put hearts up in every room of my house. And this year is even more exciting for me because I finally have a kid in school which means I finally have an excuse to buy those cute little cards.
I also love any excuse to use heart sprinkles and this Cupid’s Crunch is perfect for that!
It’s like your classic muddy buddies but uses white chocolate to coat the Chex instead of milk chocolate. There’s also peanut butter mixed into the white chocolate because, duh.
Ingredients
- Chex cereal – rice or corn Chex work best here
- White chocolate chips – you can use white almond bark or white candy melts if you prefer.
- Peanut butter
- Butter
- Powdered sugar
- Valentine’s Day M&Ms – whatever variety of M&Ms that you like best!
- Valentine’s Day sprinkles – optional but sprinkles make everything more fun!
How To Make Cupid’s Crunch
- Prepare. Place cereal in medium bowl.
- Melt. In small microwavable bowl, microwave vanilla chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth.
- Combine. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.
- Add powdered sugar. Place ½ of the cereal mixture in 1-gallon food-storage plastic bag. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated.
- Cool. Spread on waxed paper or foil; cool about 15 minutes.
- Add candy! Meanwhile, stir candies and sprinkles into remaining cereal mixture.
- Cool. Spread on waxed paper or foil; cool about 15 minutes. In serving bowl, mix both cereal mixtures. Store in airtight container.
