These Rice Krispie Treats that are perfect for Valentine's Day!
I usually find January to be a little dreary and dull - so I always get excited when February 14th rolls around and there's something to celebrate. Valentine's Day is such a fun holiday, and it's the perfect excuse to make something tasty.
These Valentine's Rice Krispie Treats are so easy to make, and I always love a no bake recipe. To get started, we make some basic rice krispie treats, just like you normally would. To make the rice krispie treats:
- In a large saucepan melt together the butter and marshmallows while gently stirring.
- Once completely melted, stir in the rice krispies.
- Then press the mixture down into a greased 9"x13" baking pan.
Once the Rice Krispies have fully hardened, it's time to get out your cookie cutters (This is a great set with Valentine themed shapes!) and cut out Valentine's day shapes.
Then for decorations - I used white, pink and red candy melts along with some heart shaped sprinkles. You can either using a piping bag with a round tip to decorate (I find the #4 tip works well) - or pour the melted chocolate into a small ziploc bag and cut off a tiny opening on one of the bottom corners.
These Valentine's Rice Krispie treats are so easy to make, and are so adorable. So if you're looking for a fun dessert for Valentine's Day, or just love Rice Krispies - then these are for you!
