Tips and Tricks for Valentines Chex Mix:
- Remember that adding a little oil to your chocolate makes it smoother and more pliable; add more than the directions if necessary.
- I like to melt a little extra white, red or pink chocolate and drizzle it over the mixture when you are finished, it helps hold it together and gives you little chunks.
- Also if you can not find pink or red candy melts I use almond bark and add food coloring.
- When putting your chocolate covered Chex in the bag, it is easier if you roll the bag down a couple of turns.
Other Things You Could Also Add:
