Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 50 regular-size marshmallows or 10 ounces mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Valentine’s sprinkles divided
- 3 ounces white melting chocolates
Instructions
- Grease a baking dish or heart-shaped silicone mold with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Add the marshmallows and the butter into a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, checking every minute to make sure that they are not being overheated or cooked. Once the marshmallows are fully melted, stir the mixture.
- Add the Rice Krispies cereal, vanilla extract, and ½ cup of Valentine's Day sprinkles to the marshmallow mixture. Gently mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Next, press the mixture into the greased silicone heart-shaped molds and let them cool completely.
- Once the Rice Krispie treats have set, remove the hearts from the silicone mold and place them on a cooling rack.
- Place the white chocolate into a small microwave-safe bowl, and heat the chocolate for 1 minute at 50% power and stir. Reheat for 30 seconds at 50% power until chocolate is smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag, cut off the tip of the bag, and drizzle the chocolate over the hearts. Top each heart with some of the remaining sprinkles.
- Let the chocolate harden, and then serve or store.
