– 4 cups mini marshmallows
– 3 tablespoons butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Food coloring (optional, for festive colors)
– Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Making Heart-Shaped Rice Krispie Treats is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Your Pan: Lightly grease a heart-shaped baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Melt Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows.
3. Mix Marshmallows: Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. If you’re using food coloring, add it at this stage and mix well.
4. Combine Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is fully coated in the marshmallow mixture.
5. Transfer to Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared heart-shaped pan. Use a spatula or your hands (greased with butter) to press the mixture down evenly.
6. Cool: Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until set.
7. Cut into Shapes: Once set, carefully remove the treat from the pan. If you didn’t use a heart-shaped pan, use a heart cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
8. Decorate: If desired, sprinkle with edible glitter or additional toppings for a festive touch.
9. Serve: Cut into smaller pieces if needed, and enjoy your delicious Heart-Shaped Rice Krispie Treats!
