Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, broken pretzel pieces, and mini marshmallows.
Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips on 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
Mix Together: Pour the melted white chocolate over the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a rubber spatula until all pieces are evenly coated.
Add Sprinkles: Spread the mixture onto a large sheet of wax or parchment paper in a single layer. Immediately sprinkle the Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles over the top.

Serve or Store: Transfer the Cupid Crunch to a serving bowl or store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
