Darlene’s Tips:  You can add nuts of your choice if you want. You can also use any flavor of chex, does not have to be all rice chex. Check your local dollar store for decorative tins or bags with a Valentine’s Day theme. Fill with this mix for special Valentine’s Day gifts!

Darlene’s Tips:  If you can’t find heart-shaped chocolate, use Hershey’s Kisses! You could also try this with refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough or any flavor cookie dough. You can skip the rolling in sugar step if you want. Or you could roll in colorful sugar sprinkles.

3: Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat candies and water to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until candies are melted. Gradually beat cinnamon mixture into fudge.

4: Spread fudge in pan. Add sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate at least 1 hour until set. Remove fudge from pan and cut into squares or heart shapes to serve. Store tightly covered in refrigerator up to 1 week.

Darlene’s Tips:  This fudge might be on the soft side so you can store in the freezer and serve as a fun frozen treat.  If you want to skip the cinnamon step, just buy any pink frosting (creamy NOT whipped) or buy white frosting and tint with food coloring. Just mix the baking morsels and frosting as directed and pour into pan. Add sprinkles if desired.
