    Quick and easy Chex Mix made with conversation hearts, sprinkles and is perfect for Valentine's Day.

    I decided to make a quick and easy Chex Mix that has lots of conversation hearts and heart sprinkles. This pink Chex Mix is sweet, sticky, and just right for snacking.

    This is the perfect thing for Valentine's Day. It would travel to a party well or would be really cute in some decorated bags.

    I love that it makes a bunch and is adorable without taking a lot of time and effort. Plus it's pink! Really, what's not to love?

    Tips and Tricks for making Queen of Hearts Chex Mix:

    • The red food coloring is optional. It makes it pretty and pink but if that kind of thing isn't for you just skip it!
    • I added red hot candies to this once and they were great with it.

    Description

    Quick and easy Chex Mix made with conversation hearts, sprinkles and is perfect for Valentine's Day.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 8 cups Chex Cereal (corn or rice or a combo of the two)
    • 2 cups shredded coconut
    • 2 cups small conversation hearts
    • 2 cups large conversation hearts
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup light corn syrup
    • ¾ cup salted butter
    • ½ tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. vanilla
    • 10 drops red food coloring
    • ½ cup mini sugar heart sprinkles

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl mix the Chex and conversation hearts together and set aside.
    2. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat combine the sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Stirring often let the mixture boil for 3 minutes.
    3. Remove from the heat and stir in the salt, vanilla, and food coloring. Pour the sugar mixture over the cereal mixture in the bowl and stir well until everything is evenly coated. Turn the mixture onto waxed paper and then sprinkle on the heart sprinkles before the coating cools. Let the Chex mix cool completely before enjoying.

    Notes

    The red food coloring is optional. It makes it pretty and pink but if that kind of thing isn't for you just skip it!

      I've been craving chex mix. This looks yummy. Also, I saw you at BYBC and meant to talk to you. I didn't want to interrupt a convo you had going on but I should have cause I ended up leaving early. We met at a slc cookie swap a year or so ago, I still think about those yummy chocolate covered peppermint homemade oreo cookies!

      Hope all is well!
