Ingredient list and recipe details for this super easy and kid friendly recipe!
If you haven't watched the video on Instagram yet then check it out. You'll see how super easy this recipe is and how you can easily include your kids in the fun!
Ingredient Details:
Regarding ingredients, really anything goes! The main two ingredients are these "Squarz" and Cheerios. Everything else could be totally your preference! The pretzels add a bit of salt with the chocolate which is really nice and to get the valentines theme I used heart candies and red and pink sprinkles.
In the video you'll see I used a larger pretzel than the ones below but I would recommend a smaller one just because the chocolate will coat them a bit nicer.
In Canada and the U.S. you can find valentines M&M's but unfortunately not here in Aus. so you'll have to buy a big bag and pick out all the red ones... Poppy loved this job and definitely ate heaps of the "wrong" coloured ones! 😂

Method:
For this super easy recipe all you do is:
Combine your preferred amount of each ingredient in a bowl and mix together - I would recommend using more of the cereals as your base.
Melt Chocolate - I like to do this in a heat proof bowl over a small amount of water in a saucepan. You can use the microwave but every time I do this I end up burning the chocolate so I find this to be an easier method! It's important to stir constantly to ensure the chocolate does not stick to the bottom of the bowl and melt. This does not take long!
Pour chocolate over the mixed ingredients to coat. Stir with a non stick spatula.
Add sprinkles shortly after chocolate so it sticks and stir to combine.
Scoop into cupcake cases or baking cups like the ones pictures. I found these at TK Maxx.
That's it! Super easy and fun to make with your mini mes. :) Great snack for a valentines movie night or lunch box treat!
