With Valentine's Day approaching, I wanted to start to create some memories in the kitchen for my daughter to look back on. What better way than with this pretty pink Sweet Chex Mix recipe?!
It's everything a little 2 year old girl loves: sprinkles, popcorn, pink, cereal, a little something sweet....heck I even love it!
Healthy Sweet Chex Mix
So I wanted to keep it pretty healthy; this is a sweet Chex mix with NO corn syrup and only a few tablespoons of white chocolate for sweetness!
The other ingredients that bring this Chex mix into the "sweet" category are freeze dried strawberries, dried berries, and some sprinkle cookies!
How To Make The Perfect Party Mix
Ok even a sweet Chex mix needs a little salty counterpart! The best way to assemble a to-die-for party mix is to make sure there is balance.
So to balance out the sweet elements I mentioned earlier, we are combining them with salty popcorn and plain Chex.
By taking a big handful of this mix, you are sure to get all the best parts. A little sweet mixed with a little salty!
Other great party food ideas to serve with this sweet Chex mix include a Charcuterie Board, Skinny Corn Dip, and Buffalo Jackfruit Dip!
