Ingredients
6tablespoonsunsalted butter
16ouncesmarshmallows or mini marshmallows
6 1/2 cupsregular or chocolate Rice Krispie cereal
8squareswhite chocolate melts
1/2cupdecorative sprinkles
Other:
2-inchheart-shaped cookie cutter
lollipop sticksor decorative straws cut in half
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray generously with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Add the rice krispie cereal to a large heat proof bowl and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in all but 1 cup of the marshmallows. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until completely melted.
Remove from heat and pour the marshmallow mix into the heat proof bowl with the rice krispie cereal and the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows. Stir to combine.
Pour the rice krispie cereal and marshmallow mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press GENTLY with your fingertips until completely spread out (the harder you pack them in, the harder they are to eat).
Allow to set, about 1 hour.
Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart-shaped treats in the pan and set on a plate. Gently insert the top of a paper straw into the bottom of each heart.
Prepare the chocolate topping by melting the white chocolate melts over medium low heat. Spoon a little melted chocolate onto one side of the heart sized treat and spread with the back of the spoon. Cover with Sprinkles and let cool.
After the chocolate has dried, serve the same day or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
