Servings: 74 mini hearts
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Cookie Sheets
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 bag miniature marshmallows (16 ounces)
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 5 oz vanilla almond bark, roughly chopped
- 2 tsp strawberry extract
- 3-4 drops red food coloring
- Valentine's Day themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper, ensuring a bit of overhang for easy removal of the treats. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Add the miniature marshmallows to the saucepan and heat, stirring frequently, until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until well combined.
- Gently press the Rice Krispie mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Allow it to set for about 30 minutes.
- Once the Rice Krispie treats have cooled and set, carefully remove them from the pan. Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out mini heart shapes. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vanilla almond bark in 15-second increments, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Stir in the strawberry extract and red food coloring.
- Transfer the melted almond bark into a pastry decorating bag or a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off. Drizzle the melted almond bark over the mini heart Rice Krispie treats. Immediately sprinkle with Valentine's Day themed sprinkles.
- Serve the Mini Heart Valentine's Rice Krispie Treats immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
