This Easy Cupid Crunch Valentine’s Day Trail Mix is a quick, no-bake snack that combines salty pretzels, sweet chocolate, and tart dried fruit for a festive treat perfect for parties, movie nights, or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 1 cup yogurt-covered raisins
  • 1 cup Valentine M&Ms
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 cup popcorn (plain or lightly salted)
  • ½ cup heart-shaped sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Measure everything out before mixing to prevent over-mixing and breaking pretzels. Break large pretzels in half if needed.
  2. Start with the base: Add mini pretzels and popcorn to a large mixing bowl. Gently toss together with hands or a spatula.
  3. Add the dried fruit: Sprinkle yogurt-covered raisins and dried cranberries over the pretzel mixture. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Incorporate the chocolate: Add Valentine M&Ms and white chocolate chips. Use a folding motion to mix without crushing pretzels.
  5. Add sprinkles (optional): Sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles over the top and fold once or twice. Do not over-mix.
  6. Taste and adjust: Grab a small handful and taste. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt for more saltiness or more white chocolate chips for sweetness if desired.
  7. Package or store: Transfer to an airtight container for storage or portion into cellophane bags for gifting. Twist tops and tie with ribbon or twist ties.

Notes

Keep the mix cool to prevent chocolate from melting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to a month. For best texture, avoid over-mixing to keep pretzels crunchy. This recipe is easily customizable with different add-ins.
