At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

How To Make Valentines S’mores Snack Mix
To make this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups Golden grahams cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup m&m’s
- ½ mini chocolate chips
- ¼ cup Valentine’s sprinkles
- In a large bowl, mix ingredients well.
- Save small sprinkles and marshmallows to add at the end – sprinkles will fall to bottom of snack mix, and marshmallows dry out quickly when exposed to air.
Tips To Perfect S’mores Snack Mix and FAQs
- For a bit more flavor, try mixing snack mix, then spreading out on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Drizzle melted chocolate over the snack mix, then let set. Scoop up and add back to bowl to serve.
- Sprinkle in a little salt or some red hots for a bit of a salty or spicy kick.
- Add Reese’s peanut butter cups or Reese’s pieces if peanut butter is ok to serve at your school.
- Try adding in chocolate chunks or bits of chopped up Snickers for more flavor!
FAQs
Since we’re not using any dairy in this recipe, it can last for up to two weeks, when stored in an airtight container – however your marshmallows may dry out.
Keep leftovers in a cool, dry place. If making ahead of time, consider leaving marshmallows out until just before serving, since they dry out quickly.
The sky is the limit! Use candies you love the taste of, and have fun!
We’re trying to mimic the taste of s’mores with this recipe – you can use any cereal you’d like as the base or swap the Grahams out for corn Chex.
