Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- White melting chocolate
- Avocado oil
- Food coloring
- Heart shaped Cookie Cutter
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Spray a 9”x13” casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large pot melt butter on medium heat. Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir frequently until fully melted.
- Pour in crispy rice cereal and gently stir until fully incorporated with the melted marshmallows.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Using a spatula, press the mixture into an even layer in the casserole dish. Allow to cool completely.
- Once cooled, transfer the rice krispie treats to a cutting board and use heart-shaped cookie cutters to cut out hearts.
- Divide white candy melts to separate bowls (amount will depend on how many colors you want).
- Add white candy melts to microwave safe bowl and melt in microwave in 30 second increments stirring in between until creamy and smooth.
- Add 1-2 drops of food coloring and stir. If chocolate seizes up, add a drop or two of avocado oil and stir, adding additional drops of oil until desired consistency is achieved.
- Dip hearts into melting chocolate or use a butter knife to spread the chocolate evenly on the tops.
- To add writing, spoon melting chocolate into a small sandwich bag. Snip off a very small corner and carefully write messages on each heart.
- Allow white candy to harden completely before transferring to an airtight container.

Time Saving Tips
