Valentine Chex Mix

I love a good Chex Mix. I normally have or make the salty ones and love them. For our Valentines Day treat I was excited to try this one out. It sounded so yummy since it has two of my favorite things, white chocolate and Peanut Butter! It was defifantly a winner at my house. 

I am adding the origanil recipe, but some modifications I made was doubling the recipe. I knew this size would not make enough for all my boys! And I also used White Chocolate Chips, and heated everything on the stove, not the microwave. It came out great and we all loved it!
