Valentine’s Day Cherrylicious Trash

Easy to make candy party mix loaded with cherry candy.
Prep Time7 minutes
Cook Time3 minutes
Total Time10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 2 cups Nilla cookies broken
  • 2 cups Nesquik cereal
  • 2 cups Brownies broken up
  • 2 cups cherry licorice
  • 2 cups cherry sours
  • 2 cups cherry kisses unwrapped (obviously!)
  • 2 cups conversation hearts
  • ½ package of red candy melts
  • ½ package of colorburst candy melts white will do if you don't have colorburst
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a monster sized bowl combine all your ingredients and mix them up really well.
  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Pour the candy on top of the cookie sheets and spread out evenly.
  • Take your red candy melts, pop them in a glass, then pop them in your microwave for about 1.5 minutes. Check and stir every 30 seconds. I add a touch (1 tablespoon approximately) of vegetable oil to make it smoother and looser. Take a popsicle stick and drizzle over the candy on the cookie sheets.
  • Repeat with the colorburst candy melts.
  • Allow to set up for about an hour. I just left mine on top of my stove while the coating cooled.
  • Transfer to a container, it should keep for about a week, but I doubt it will last that long if you have kids.
  • Serve with a big old I hate Valentine's Day smile!

Notes

You can change up this recipe to suit your own taste. Try chocolate bars, or chips, or cookies, or any candy that catches your fancy.
