Heart Shaped Rice Krispie Treats with Craisins the perfect Valentine’s Day treat for your sweetheart! Drizzled with white chocolate for the perfect touch.

These cute Heart Shaped Rice Krispie Treats with Craisins are great for Valentine’s Day.  To make the treats just a touch more special I added in some chopped up Craisins for a pop of flavor. I bought a fun heart-shaped pan from Wilton years ago,  its perfect for shaping Rice Krispie Treats into a heart and then you can add a stick to the treat if you wish.  After making these, I decorated with just a drizzle of melted white chocolate and some pretty sprinkles.  You can also make in a 13″ x 9″ pan and cut into traditional squares.  These really are a great treat! Let the kids help make them, yes they’ll get sticky but the end result and their sticky ooey-gooey smiles will make it worth the mess!

Ingredients:

3 T butter, melted
5 1/2 cups mini marshmallows or 40 regular size marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/2 cup Craisins, roughly chopped

Optional for decoration:
1/3 cup white chocolate chips, melted
sprinkles
sticks

Instructions:

In large bowl melt butter in the microwave, approximately 30 seconds.
Add marshmallows (I prefer using mini marshmallows) to melted butter & toss to coat.

Heat in microwave 1 minute, take out and stir carefully.
Continue melting in the microwave in 30-second increments until marshmallows are completely melted.
Add Rice Krispie cereal and Craisins, stir until mixed together.

Spray pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

The molded pan will hold about 1/2 cup of Rice Krispie/marshmallow mixture, just spread evenly in shaped areas.
If using a stick, press in firmly. You may need to add additional mixture on top of the stick.

Wait at least 3 hours until shapes have firmed up before decorating.
To drizzle white chocolate, dip fork into melted chocolate & drizzle over top of Rice Krispie Treat back & forth.
Immediately use sprinkles while chocolate is wet.
Makes 18 4″ hearts or 1 13×9 baking dish of Rice Krispie Treats.
