Do you remember Amy’s Fall Mix? This is that, but with red, pink, and white ingredients… perfect to toss together and share with friends, family, teachers, coworkers, and anyone else you want to bless during this “season of love.”
Amy’s Valentine Mix looks especially pretty presented individually in crisp cellophane bags or half-pint jars wrapped in red or pink ribbons! The possibilities are endless. The mix is addictive. The recipients will be elated. Just trust me on this and try it for yourself…. you may have to make TWO batches – one for YOU and one to share.
To create an extra meaningful gift, add a tag or label with a Scripture verse about the incredible LOVE of God toward us. One of my favorites is Zephaniah 3:17 in the New Living Translation:
For the Lord your God is living among you.
He is a Mighty Savior.
He will take delight in you with gladness.
With His love, He will calm all your fears.
He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
Zephaniah 3:17
Isn’t that beautiful and wonderful???
OK… here’s the recipe. Brace yourselves…
Valentine Snack Mix
Ingredients
- Indulgent Trail Mix
- Valentine colored M&MS – plain
- Valentine colored M&MS – peanut
- Valentine colored M&MS – peanut butter (if desired)
- Valentine pink candy corns
- Dry roasted peanuts
- Dried Cranberries – Sometimes I use dried blueberries
- Chocolate-covered raisins
- Sugar Babies
- Toffee covered peanuts (if you want)
- Anything else you want to add would be fine. Just don’t add anything like cereal or pretzels if it’s not going to be eaten immediately. The mixture retains a bit of moisture because of the raisins in the indulgent mix, and pretzels, etc. tend to get soggy over time.
Directions
- Open packages and dump in a big bowl
- Mix up
- Enjoy and share!!
