Instructions

Melt the chocolates: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and coconut oil or butter (if using). Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add the cereal: Gently fold the crispy rice cereal into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with chocolate.
Add candies and sprinkles: Quickly mix in the red and pink M&M’s or candy hearts along with the Valentine’s Day sprinkles to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
Set the mixture: Spoon the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer or small clusters as desired.
Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened and the clusters have set.
Serve and store: Once set, break the clusters into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

For a smoother texture when melting chocolate, add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or butter.
Can substitute crispy rice cereal with corn flakes for a slightly different crunch.
Adjust candy mix-ins based on preference or theme.
Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunchiness.
No baking or cooking is needed, making this a quick and easy Valentine’s treat.
