If there aren’t sweets involved, is it even Valentine’s Day? I was looking for a quick snack activity to do with my kiddos [Lauren here, hi!], who are 2 and 5, and this was the perfect hands on way to get them involved. And when I say hands on, I mean they continued to stick their sweet little hands in and pull M&Ms out as we were making it. But I just think that means it was made with love *wink*.

So add these ingredients to your grocery list, whip up a batch of Sweetheart Mix with the sweethearts in your life! Enjoy!
