Happy Valentine's Day! How fun are these? After seeing this on Pinterest, I decided to tweak the recipe a little bit. The original had some strawberry cake mix in it which didn't sit well with me so I eliminated that and increased the amounts of cereal and candy melts. This would be a fun little something to put in containers to hand out to co-workers or friends. And how easy to change colors for different holidays. Green for St. Paddy's Day! Red, white and blue for the 4th of July! Orange, yellow and brown for fall! So many choices!!!
Valentine Muddy Buddies
1 1/2 cups white (vanilla) candy melts (found at Walmart, Hobby Lobby or Michael's)
1 1/2 cups red candy melts
6 cups rice Chex cereal, divided
2 cups powdered sugar

Divide the cereal in half and place 3 cups each into two bowls.
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the white candy melts for 1 minute. Stir to smooth.
Repeat with red candy melts in a separate bowl.
Pour melted white candy melts over 3 cups cereal and stir to coat.
