Ingredients

5 ounces white almond bark or white chocolate chocolate chips
5 ounces red candy melts I found them at Michael's craft store
½ teaspoon shortening
5 cups Chex cereal, divided
½ cup strawberry cake mix, divided
½ cup powdered sugar, divided
½ package valentines chocolate M&M's

Instructions

Start by dividing the 5 cups Chex cereal, into two bowls. (2 1/2 cup in each)
In microwave safe dish, melt the 5 ounces white almond bark or white chocolate chocolate chips. Add 1/2 teaspoon shortening so that the almond bark will spread evenly. Microwave 30 seconds at a time and be careful not to burn the almond bark. Dump this in the first bowl of chex and mix evenly to coat all of the chex cereal.
Melt the 5 ounces red candy melts next, also checking and stirring the candy melts 30 seconds at a time. Once this is melted, pour this over the second bowl of divided chex and mix until coated.
In two gallon size ziplock bags, put 1/4 cup strawberry cake mix and 1/4 cup powdered sugar in each bag. Dump each bowl of Chex mix in each bag and shake until coated with the powdered sugar and strawberry powdered cake mix.
