If you are looking for a quick and easy no-bake Valentine’s Day snack idea that doesn’t require cooking and can even be a simple DIY Valentine’s gift, look no further than this yummy Valentine’s trail mix.
Valentine’s Day Trail Mix
We love a good holiday themed snack around here and with three boys that love to snack, I am always on the lookout for things that can be prepped quickly, easily, and preferably carried on the go.
The best thing about making your own trail mix is that you can really customize the recipe to make it as healthy or sweet as you like and it feels like a treat either way. You likely have most of the ingredient you need in your pantry already!
For our Valentine’s trail mix, I wanted to create a kid-friendly trail mix that felt fun and celebratory for the holiday.
Ingredients
I did not include specific measurements here because I didn’t use them. I just poured them into a bowl and eyeballed it.
If you are making this WITH your kids (which would be really fun), I recommend letting them use scoops to measure how much of each ingredient they are adding in for fun kitchen practice.
Here’s what you need:
- Itty Bitty Pretzels (my favorite pretzels for a kid friendly trail mix base)
- You can also use pretzel rods or regular pretzels
- Very Berry Cheerios (because they’re pink!)
- Mini Marshmallows
- Valentine’s M&M candy
- Yogurt Covered Raisins
Directions
It’s just as simple as it looks.
- Pour all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Stir it to mix well.
- Store in an air tight container or serve immediately.
- Air tight is important to keep marshmallows fresh and pretzels and cereal from going stale.
Trail Mix as a DIY Valentine’s Day Gift
We usually scoop our trail mix immediately into snack cups around here, but it also makes a really affordable and easy DIY Valentine’s gift idea for friends and neighbors.
Simply scoop some trail mix into glass jars with some ribbon and a gift tag and you’ve got yourself a tasty treat that you can give away.
And that’s it – a super simple, easy, no-bake Valentine’s Day snack for kids of all ages!
