Equipment

  • 2 Large Bowls
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Zip-Top Bags (large)
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wax Paper

Ingredients
  

Cereal Base

  • 7 cups Chex Cereal divided

Coatings & Mix-ins

  • 1 cup Pink Candy Melts
  • 1 cup Red Candy Melts
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar divided
  • 2 tsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Valentine's Day M&M's
  • 0.5 tbsp Valentine's Day Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Grab two large bowls and carefully divide your Chex cereal, placing half in each.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Heat in short 30-second bursts, stirring well after each, until it's wonderfully smooth.
  • Pour the melted pink candy over one bowl of Chex cereal. Gently fold the cereal until every piece is beautifully coated. If it thickens, a quick 15-second microwave burst can help loosen it up!
  • Transfer the pink-coated cereal into a large zip-top bag. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, seal the bag, and shake it gently until all the cereal is evenly dusted.
  • Spread this festive pink puppy chow onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper and set it aside to cool.
  • Now, repeat steps 2-5 with the red candy melts, the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil, and your second bowl of Chex cereal, coating it with the other 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
  • Let both batches of muddy buddies sit for about 30 minutes to set up. Once firm, gently combine them, then stir in your Valentine's Day M&M's and sprinkles for that extra pop of love!
  • Serve this delightful, homemade treat and enjoy the smiles!
