Ingredients
Scale
- 7 cups Chex cereal (divided)

- 1 cup pink candy melts
- 1 cup red candy melts
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup Valentine’s Day M&M’s

- Divide the Chex cereal into two separate bowls.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts with 1 tsp of vegetable oil in 30-second increments until fully melted.
