Delightful heart-shaped treats made from crispy rice cereal, marshmallows, and butter, perfect for celebrations and family gatherings.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows, large or mini
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups rice cereal
  • Optional: sprinkles, chocolate chips, or crushed nuts

Instructions

  1. Melt the buttery goodness: Start by melting butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once melted, add your marshmallows. Stir frequently until they’re completely melted and smooth.
  2. Mix it all together: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the rice cereal until fully coated.
  3. Shape your creations: Lightly butter a heart-shaped silicone mold or a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the mold, pressing down firmly to ensure it holds its shape.
  4. Chill and slice: Let them cool for about 30 minutes at room temperature. Once firm, remove from the mold and slice into adorable heart shapes if you used a baking dish.
  5. Add the love: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top or sprinkle with colorful confetti for that eye-catching finish!

Notes

These treats can be stored in an airtight container for several days and can also be frozen for up to six weeks.
