If you're looking for a stunning yet easy way to create theseAdorable Heart Shaped Rice Krispy Treats, you have come to the right place! I've been envisioning making these for a few weeks now, ever since I started seeing the Valentine's Day baking supplies at stores for the season. They only contain around 6 ingredients/materials, and prep work is also pretty minimal!
INGREDIENTS/MATERIALS:
Pink colored Wilton or other candy melts (similar here)
Lollipop Sticks (found here)
6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
4 Cups mini marshmallows
Silicone Heart Shaped Candy mold from Walmart (similar here)
INSTRUCTIONS (MAKES 6):
1.) Begin making Rice Krispy treats. In a no-stick pot or pan, melt butter and marshmallows until smooth. Add 4-5 drops of red food coloring until the marshmallow mixture is desired color (a darker pink). Now add 1/4 -1/2 C. sprinkles and stir again. Lastly, add Rice Krispies and stir until combined!
2.) During the rice krispy treat making process, melt half the bag of pink candy melts in a microwave safe bowl until smooth.
3.) Using a large tablespoon, spoon equal amounts of melted candy melts into the heart shaped molds, filling them 1/4 full.
4.) Once candy melts have set for 1-2 minutes but before they are completely hardened, fill the rest of the heart molds with ooey gooey Rice Krispy treats. Press down into mold so they are flat on top.
5.) Once everything has hardened, remove from molds. If the pink candy toppings have separated from the Krispies, simply melt 4-5 more candy melts and attach them back together with a spoon full of melted candy.
6.) Lastly, optionally insert lollipop sticks into the heart krispies (they go in VERY easily). Enjoy!
Think of how cute these would be to gift in a big "bouquet" for Valentine's Day! You could wrap them in small celophane treat bags and tie them up with festive ribbons too.
