Please note, you can make these heart rice krispie treats with your hands, but I would suggest picking up a simple heart mold to make the decorating a bit easier. Here are a few options to consider.

Also you could also always consider using Strawberry Rice Krispies on these Valentine’s Day treats! Think about it! You will start off with a wonderful pink color right out of the box!

You might not even decide to use any coloring – that would be up to you. I like to give it a bit of an extra boost just for fun. But in a time pinch, I always grab the Strawberry Rice Krispies and be on my way.

No one will care at the end of the day how RED or PINK your Valentine’s Day Rice Krispie Treats are! They are more interested in the flavor, the shape, and how gooey they are.

Pink Rice Krispie Treats Ingredients

To get started with this recipe, you will need the following ingredients. As a side note, if you don’t happen to happen crystals or hearts, don’t worry about that. Extra fluff is fun to have, but isn’t required.

• 6 cups Rice Krispies
• 1 10oz bag Mini Marshmallows (save a handful for the “arrows”)
• 3 Tab. Butter
• Silver Crystals
• Red Confetti Hearts
• Pink Food Coloring
• Heart Shape Cookie Cutter
• Toothpicks
• Wilton’s Dab & Hold edible adhesive

How To Make Valentine’s Rice Krispie Treats

Melt your butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the marshmallows in and mix until melted. Remove from heat, add food coloring and mix well.

Stir in Rice Krispies. Pour mixture into a buttered 9×13 pan and press firmly all around. Sprinkle with crystals and confetti hearts.

Let cool, about 10-15 minutes. While those are cooling you can make your “arrow”.

First cut a triangle shape out of a mini marshmallow then insert it into the end of the toothpick. Next, add a dap of edible adhesive to the top of a mini marshmallow and stick on the confetti heart.

Now, take your cooled Rice Krispies and cut out your hearts with the cookie cutter. Insert toothpicks on each side at an angle. Place the tail on one side and the heart on the other.

Now all you have to do is enjoy this ooey, gooey, delicious treat!
