Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows about 40
- red gel food coloring
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 12 ounces vanilla almond bark
- sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Grease 13x9x2 inch baking pan with butter. Set aside
- In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in 2-3 drops red food coloring. Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until evenly coated. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into prepared pan. Allow to cool. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes by pressing cookie cutter into treats. You may need a knife to cut through treats completely by tracing around heart shape. Press lollipop stick straight through bottom of each heart, pushing about halfway through the heart. Place on wire rack set on top of a parchment lined baking sheet
- Melt almond bark in medium bowl for 60 seconds at 50% power, stir and continue to microwave in intervals of 30 seconds at 50% power until completely melted and smooth, stirring in between. Once completely melted, dip one side of Rice Krispie treat into the chocolate, allow excess to drip into bowl and place on wire rack. Sprinkle with sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Continue dipping and sprinkling until all treats have been dipped. Allow to set completely
Notes
- For best results, use fresh marshmallows
- 1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows
- Store for two days at room temperature in airtight container
- To freeze, make treats but do not dip in chocolate. Place treats in layers separated by wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before dipping in chocolate
