Last night my girls and I made Valentines Crunch. It is REALLY REALLY easy and you can make it suite any holiday by changing just a couple ingredients. Just happens we had Valentines candy hearts and M&M’s. I bought the mini laundry baskets at the Target dollar spot and they were the perfect size! (Or you can use these popcorn favor boxes too)
For this recipe you need:
- 3/4 block white chocolate
- 2 cups M&M
- 2 cups candy conversation hearts
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 8 cups popped corn
I pour mine out onto some wax paper and let it harden. Then you break it up into pieces and store in an air tight container. I packaged mine in little gift bags. This stays good for a week or more in bags!
You don’t have to use the same toppings as I did, you can use anything really! This is a GREAT recipe for the kids, mine love to make it and give it away!

This looks like a great activity and treat for my girls to do for their classmates. I do have a question. How many of the little bags does this recipie make?
Tiffany says
Good question, hard to tell because we ate a lot, but I would say 12-15 small bags. They probably hold about 1 cup each.
Maggie Brooks says
Thank you ! I will double it then so we will have enough for the whole class! Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Is that white “almond bark” or is it truly “white chocolate”? I’m just trying to make sure I buy the right ingredient. Thanks for the cute idea.
Tiffany says
Just almond bark, that is what it was.
Andrea says
Can I do this with Chex Mix or would that be gross?
Tiffany says
Well I would say Chex cereal, the mix might be too salty.
Andrea says
Ahhh, that is true, gotta go buy some pretzels and I will be making another one of your delicious recipes!! Thank you!!

I made this for my foster daughter’s class, but just with the vanilla almond bark & Valentine M&M’s that I picked up @ CVS for $1.00. Your blog inspired me to “try again” after the fiasco I had last year burning the chocolate. This year I didn’t screw it up, :O) Thank you for the inspiration!
