Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect Valentine’s Day Treats for kids of all ages. The Rice Krispie Treat you love dipped in decadent chocolate – this is a Valentine’s Day Dessert that can’t be missed!
I’ve recently gotten on a Rice Krispies kick because they are gluten-free and I try to snack on those options when possible. While this version is NOT gluten-free, it led me down this path. For the holidays, why not add a bit more flare and fun, right?!
If you are looking for a Valentine’s Day recipe to make that involves hearts and chocolate, you found one! Here’s a simple idea that makes a beautiful display.

DIRECTIONS:
Line a 9×13-inch cookie pan with parchment paper, then coat with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large saucepan, melt the butter and miniature marshmallows over low heat until the marshmallows are just melted. Add in the salt and vanilla – stir to combine.
