If Valentine’s Day had a flavor, it would taste exactly like this Valentine’s S’mores Snack Mix — sweet, chocolatey, and sprinkled with a little magic. This no-bake treat takes everything you love about classic s’mores — graham, marshmallow, and chocolate — and turns it into a shareable snack that’s as easy as it is adorable.
The first time I made this snack mix, it was for my kids’ Valentine’s school party. I threw it together in less than 10 minutes with whatever was in the pantry — some cereal, marshmallows, chocolate, and red sprinkles. It was gone in seconds! Now, it’s a Valentine’s tradition in our house, right next to my Heart-Shaped Sugar Cookies and Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

Tips for Perfect Valentine’s Snack Mix
- Use good chocolate: It melts smoother and sets beautifully.
- Let it cool fully: Keeps the candy coating crisp and shiny.
- Add candies last: Prevents melting and color bleeding.
- Store in an airtight container: Keeps it fresh and crunchy for up to a week.
These same easy tips make my Gooey S’mores Bars just as irresistible.
How to Store and Gift
Storage: Store in airtight jars or bags at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Gifting: Divide into small cellophane bags or mason jars and tie with pink ribbon for Valentine’s gifts.
Freezing: Avoid freezing — it can make the cereal soggy and the chocolate lose texture.
If you love giftable treats like my Chocolate Peppermint Bark, this one’s perfect for packaging up and sharing.
Flavor Variations
- White Chocolate Strawberry: Use white chocolate and add freeze-dried strawberries.
- Dark Chocolate Sea Salt: Swap for dark chocolate and sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
- Valentine’s Popcorn Mix: Mix in popcorn for an extra crunch.
- Nutty Crunch: Add roasted almonds or peanuts for a sweet-salty combo.
