Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1-2 drops pink food coloring
Sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Grease a heart-shaped baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
Add Color and Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pink food coloring. Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until well coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Shape the Treats: Pour the mixture into the prepared heart-shaped pan. Press down firmly with a spatula or your hands to flatten and create an even layer.
Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once set, carefully remove from the pan and cut into heart shapes. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
Serve: Enjoy these delightful treats at your Valentine’s celebration or pack them as special homemade gifts.
