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
- 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.
- Mix it all together: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the rice cereal until fully coated.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the love: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top or sprinkle with colorful confetti for that eye-catching finish!
