Ahh, Valentine’s Day. A chance to be extra romantic and lovey. Many picture the fancy meals they will be having or the box of chocolates that they’re eager to open. Kids pack with excitement their valentines for their classmates. At the Wright household, it’s usually a day we get Noah and Penny little heart shaped candies, and I make heart-shaped pancakes. Traditionally I spend the night before dipping strawberries in chocolate and helping Noah with his class Valentines. Post-Covid, well, things have looked differently. Since I am both his mom and semi teacher, I figured we’d try to make things a little unique this year. Throughout the week, I will be popping in to spread some love on here through sweets. Today we start with something simple. Valentine’s Day trail mix! As always, customize to your liking!
Chex mix
Colored marshmallows
Sprinkles
M&M valentine candies
Pretzel sticks
Half a stick of butter
In a large bowl, toss together the Chex, sprinkles, M&Ms, and pretzel sticks. Set aside. On medium-low heat, melt butter in a saucepan. Add marshmallows and mix until smooth. Remove from heat and immediately pour over the mix. You can pour the mixture into a dish or if you have kids like mine, eat right from the bowl.
With love
