Queen of Hearts Chex Mix

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.
