Cupid’s Crunch Chex Mix
Cupid’s Crunch Chex Mix recipe is a no-bake, sweet and salty Valentine’s day treat loaded with festive M&M’s that is easy to make and great for gifts!
Let’s talk about that one time when I ate Cupid’s Crunch Chex Mix for dinner…
Valentine’s day is almost upon us! I have had my heart set on creating a fun snack for the holiday that would be easy enough that kids could even make it themselves.
I almost kicked myself for making this, because at the time, I was on my pre-vacation diet and this stuff just sat there in a bowl on the kitchen counter taunting me and calling out my name every time I walked by. It was torture, I tell ya!
I’m so glad you’re here! Follow along on Pinterest for more inspiration!
This snack mix combines two different cereals, M&M’s, pretzels, and peanuts with gooey, melted white chocolate. How can you wrong? If you’re more of a regular chocolate person as opposed to white chocolate, do not go one more day without making this Peanut Butter Buckeye Bark for your valentine! You can also check out my entire collection of Valentine’s Day recipes here.
Cupid’s Crunch Chex Mix would be a killer snack to bring to your kids’ class parties (just remember there are nuts in here or simply leave them out altogether), a weekend treat, or even to serve at adult parties.
Consider yourself warned: this stuff is majorly, ridiculously addicting! Also, try my Conversation Heart Sugar Cookie Bark. The next time a sweet and salty craving hits, you know what to do.

- In a large bowl, mix together the Chex cereal, Cheerios, pretzels, peanuts, and M&M's
- In a small bowl, mix oil and white chocolate discs together and melt in the microwave on 50% power in 20 second increments, stirring the chocolate between each burst of power.

- Immediately spread mixture out onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet to dry. Break apart into chunks. Enjoy!
There’s a reason why I don’t make mixes like this at home – I’d be too afraid that I’d devour the whole thing! Love the pretty pinks and reds in your version. It’s definitely perfect for Valentine’s Day!
haha yup, I think this would be taunting me too if I made it! So fun for the holiday!!
I can not believe we are already talking about Valentine’s Day! That came quick <3
I’m still catching up with my Christmas recipes and now I can’t wait to dive into Valentine’s Day. This is so much fun!!!
What an awesome idea! AND I just happened to buy a big fat bag of white chocolate discs yesterday…score! 🙂
Such a nice recipe! Very clever — and pretty. And I’ll bet the flavor is awesome. Thanks!
Looks like a great dinner to me! 😀 And so darn perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Happy Early Valentines day! love this crunch and that video! to cute!
What a great idea! This looks so delicious!
How many days will this mix keep?
Mine kept for 4-5 days and it was still crunchy!
Try adding a couple drops of red food coloring to the white chocolate to give it a Valentine’s pink color!
Love that idea! Thank you!!
Can you make this with dark chocolate because I have a child that is allergic to white chocolate?
I don’t see why not!
I’m curious to know what the oil does for the melted chocolate????
It makes it more spreadable.
