Easy Valentine’s Day Cheerio Balls

 Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that has become more of a “thing” over the last few years. I blame Pinterest!

Granted we don’t normally celebrate Valentine’s Day at home. However, Valentine’s Day is a big deal for school children. (I bet the candy has a lot to do with that! )

Even though we don’t make Valentine’s Day a big deal at home, I love to make these easy Valentine’s Day cheerio balls because the kids get a kick out of it. The kids love our themed cheerio ball snack recipes.

I like making these snack bites because it’s so easy to customize Cheerio Ball Snacks for every occasion.

Directions:

Heat butter in a small saucepan on medium heat until melted.

Add the nut butter to the melted butter. Add 1/2 bag of marshmallows and stir constantly until melted.

Turn off heat.

Add the cheerios and remaining marshmallows.

Stir, baby, stir!

Spray hands with cooking spray or rub with coconut oil to make rolling balls easier.

Roll mixture into balls.

Place white chocolate chips into a plastic zip top bag but leave bag open. Microwave 30 seconds, knead, and return to microwave in 15-second intervals, kneading after each time. When completely melted, seal bag and snip.

When completely melted, seal bag and snip a corner of the bag. Drizzle melted chocolate on a few balls, about 3, and sprinkle with sprinkles before they harden. Melt chocolate again if needed and drizzle on another few balls.

There you have it! A sweet Valentine’s Peanut Butter Cheerio Balls treat!
