    A snack you can't keep your hands off of.  Easy Valentines Strawberry Snack Mix is so special in flavor and in color and is truly the perfect snack for your favorite teacher, friends or enjoyed as an after school snack on Valentine's Day.  These festive and fun snack mixes are so great because you can customize your own and add all the things you love.  

    A beautiful pink color, crunchy, salty and sweet, this Easy Strawberry Snack Mix is made with white chocolate, freeze dried strawberries, Chex cereal, cheerios, kettle corn popcorn, pretzels, m&m's and conversation heart sweet tarts.  The combination of all these flavors makes for one perfect bite!

    This Easy Valentines Snack Mix would pair perfectly on our Valentines Day Snack Board for Kids or Valentines Day Dessert Board.

    If you love easy and delicious snack mixes, you will also love our Party Snack Mix and Tailgate Snack Mix.

    Ingredients

    chex, cheerios and popcorn in a bowl in the middle of m&m's, conversation hearts and pretzels

    Cereal-Rice Chex and Cheerios give the perfect amount of crunch for this snack mix and keep a crunch when coated in chocolate. Both cereals are gluten free is you are need this recipe to be GF.
    Popcorn-I love the addition of Kettle Popcorn to snack mix. The coated popcorn tends to add a little sweetness, but also stays crunchy and doesn't get soggy when mixed together.
    Pretzels (X's O's)-Adding a salty touch to this sweet snack mix, pretzels can be valentine themed pretzels, sticks, or classic twists. You can also choose a gluten free pretzel option as well.
    White Chocolate- Choose your favorite white chocolate chips to coat the snack mix.
    Coconut Oil-Mixed in with the white chocolate chips, the coconut oil will thin out the white chocolate for easier spreading and will also allow the chocolate to harden faster and with a crunch.
    Freeze Dried Strawberries-Pureed freeze dried strawberries is going to give this Valentines Snack Mix a delicious strawberry flavor and a beautiful pink color.
    Conversation Heart Sweet Tarts-It is not valentines day without conversation heart candies and this snack mix looks extra festive with these candies sprinkled throughout.
    M&M's-Red, pink and white M&M's will make this snack mix even more festive and tasty

    Tips To Make The Best Valentine's Day Snack Mix

    Choose Your Chocolate
    White Chocolate adds the best flavor to this snack mix, but you can always replace the white chocolate with chocolate wafters

    Make It A Gluten Free Snack Mix
    This snack mix can easily be made gluten free!  Chex, cheerios and popcorn is already naturally GF so just replace the pretzels with GF pretzels!

    Snack Mix Storage
    Once the chocolate has hardened, this snack mix can be stored in an airtight container or large zip lock bag for up to one week. I would not recommend freezing the snack mix.

    Gifting Valentines Snack Mix
    Strawberry Snack Mix makes adorable gifts for teachers, friends and front porch quarantine gifting. Do Say Give has some great packaging ideas for this Valentines Snack Mix.
