Valentine's Day Snack Mix

Okay, I promise this is my last Valentine's Day post this year. I just couldn't help myself for some reason this Valentine's season. The pink hues just kept calling my name. Sorry not sorry. 

I made this snack mix this weekend and much to my surprise, what I thought were random ingredients turned out to be something pretty delightful. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't inspired by Meghan at Stir and Scribble. Meghan made this adorable snack mix for her strawberry lovin' kiddo, Ella, last year, and I couldn't get it out of my mind. Of course mine isn't nearly as lovely as Meghan's, but it was tasty, so I thought I'd share it with you! 

Valentine's Day Snack Mix

You will need: 

- Vanilla Chex Cereal

- Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn

- Mini Pretzels

- Vanilla Cupcake Goldfish

- Valentine's Day M&Ms

- Dried Strawberries

To prepare:

Start by finding the biggest bowl you own. This will give you plenty of room for mixing together. Add 2-3 cups of the first 3 ingredients, adding more or less to taste. I love the salty mixed with the sweet, so I added more popcorn than your average mix. Top your mix with the remaining 3 ingredients (which for me meant the more chocolate, the merrier!).  Store it in a large freezer bag for all of your holiday munching needs.

Oh! I almost forgot. Join me tomorrow on Annette Joseph's Instagram account. I'll be taking over with a few tips on how to have a stress-free Valentine's Day dinner for two at home...without spending an arm and a leg and barely lifting a cooking finger. Follow Annette for all the fun!
