🥘 Ingredients

This is a halfway healthy Valentine's Day snack. It's a curated mix of just the right combination of salty and sweet, and textures that go well together.

• Pretzels - Twists or squares work better than sticks.
• Cheerios - Strawberry or Mixed Berry flavored
• M&Ms - Valentine themed
• Yogurt Covered Raisins - I used SunMaid Strawberry & Vanilla flavored
• Freeze Dried Yogurt Melts - Found in the baby food isle. Mixed Berry or Strawberry.
• Optional: White Melting Chocolate - Honestly, this is the best part. Don't skip it!

🔪 Instructions

Start by measuring out the pretzels and Cheerios and placing them in a large mixing bowl.

Then pour in the Valentine M&Ms, the freeze dried yogurt melts, and the yogurt covered raisins.

Note: The SunMaid brand of yogurt raisins has a strawberry and vanilla variety that comes in a package of 6 small 1 oz boxes for under 3 dollars. I used all six boxes for this recipe.

Mix everything together gently with a large spoon or rubber spatula. You could be finished here, and serve a lovely trail mix.

HOWEVER. The white chocolate drizzle is what makes this recipe THE BEST.

I used 6 blocks of white almond bark melting chocolate (about 450g). You could also use about 1.5 cups of white melting chocolate. Microwave it in 30 second increments or according to package directions, mixing well in between.

When the white chocolate reaches the desired consistency pour/drizzle it over the trail mix and gently mix the melted chocolate to cover everything evenly. Transfer it to a greased baking sheet and spread evenly. Drizzle a little chocolate over the top for a lovely finish and let cool completely.

Before serving, gently break apart any large clumps.

🍽 Serving

This trail mix is best served at room temperature. It can be served right out of the pan or if you're more civilized, in cute little treat bags or small serving cups for a Valentines party.

This recipe makes about 12 cups of trail mix.

📖 Variations

If you're not sure about raisins, freeze dried yogurt melts, or maybe another ingredient, no problem! There are so many ways to customize this recipe!

• Chocolate Puff cereal is an amazing addition or substitution for this recipe!
• If you're not a fan of fruity yogurt melts, add in peanut butter M&Ms instead!
• For a healthier version, omit the white chocolate and M&M's and replace them with dried strawberries.
• Add nuts! Almonds, walnut halves, or pecan halves would all be delicious.

💬 FAQ

• Do I have to use raisins? No! You can use another dried fruit or omit them completely.
• Do I have to use yogurt melts? No! My kids love them, but not everyone does. Leave them out or substitute them with a different ingredient. See the variations list above.
