Sweet and Salty Chex Mix with Ruby Chocolate
A sweet and salty Chex mix with cinnamon sugar pretzels, Chex mix and popcorn all tied together with dark chocolate and ruby chocolate.
If you’re new to ruby chocolate, welcome! If you’re not new to ruby chocolate, also, welcome! I’ve recently shared a couple of recipes with ruby chocolate after happening upon these beautiful pink chocolate chips at Sprouts. Ruby chocolate has a sweet, sorta tart taste with a very smooth/creamy texture. A snack mix seemed like a fun way to use my last bit of ruby chips and it was!

WHAT IS RUBY CHOCOLATE?
At first glance, it may not look like chocolate but ruby chocolate is actually made from cocoa beans so it is a type of chocolate. It’s newly developed, compared to regular chocolate, and doesn’t seem to be super common yet. But I was able to find ruby chips at Sprouts Market which might be an indicator that it’s making its way into the mainstream.
WHAT DOES RUBY CHOCOLATE TASTE LIKE?
Ruby chocolate has a distinct fruity taste. It’s slightly tart, and reminds me of raspberries. It’s texture is extremely smooth, similar to white chocolate. It melts easily and makes a great addition to lots of baked goods and treats.
