Valentine’s Chex Treats

Happy February, friends!

Today, I’m re-sharing one of my MOST POPULAR RECIPES OF 2022!

If you haven’t made these easy little no bake Valentine’s Chex Treats, you need to ASAP!

Seriously, these are not only super easy to make, but they’re insanely delicious too.  Even those in my family who aren’t super into sweets are really into these bars.  Plus bonus, they’re gluten-free too!

Since making them the first time, we have made them time and time again…in fact, my kids can even make these now without any supervision whatsoever.  We have been making ours festive for Valentine’s Day, but you could totally just leave off the sprinkles and enjoy them year around OR change out the sprinkles for the holiday.  Either way you do it, just do it.  These simple little treats will be a new fave at your house too!

Happy February!!

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 3 cups Corn Chex

Instructions

1. Line an 8×8 baking dish with foil and then spray down with Pam for easy removal of the bars.  Set aside.
2. In a large-sized baggie, add in both of your cereals.  Seal the bag and lightly crush the cereal (we use the back of a measuring cup).  Don’t crush them too much, just crush them a bit so that most of the cereal pieces are broken.
3. Pour broken cereal pieces into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
4. In a microwavable bowl, add in your marshmallows and butter.  Place this bowl in the microwave and microwave until the marshmallows are melted (stopping every 30 seconds to stir).  This will only take about a minute or so.  As soon as your marshmallows and butter are melted, quickly pour this on top of the cereal in your bowl.  Quickly combine everything and then pat it all down into your prepared baking dish.  Pat everything flat and allow the bars to cool about 10 minutes before icing.
5. To make the icing on the top, take your vanilla candy coating and add it to a microwavable bowl along with your vegetable oil.  Microwave until the candy coating is melted (again, stopping to stir every 30 seconds).  This will take about 2 minutes or so.  As soon as it’s melted, quickly spread this on top of your bars and then top with any sprinkles.  Allow this to cool 20 minutes on your counter before slicing, serving and enjoying.
6. When not enjoying, store these in an airtight container on the counter (no fridge necessary).
