Rice Krispy Treats

I always forget how much I love these until I'm reminded by seeing the recipe on a box of cereal or in a book.

I found this recipe at Family Fun and it's perfect for Valentine's Day!

Sweet Heart Krispy Treats

*cooking spray
*3 tbsp. margarine
*6 cups mini marshmallows
*red food coloring
*9 cups Rice Krispies cereal
*heart shaped cookie cutter
*plastic bags, yarn or ribbon

Step 1:
To begin, lightly coat a 10X15 inch baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside

Step 2:
Melt the margarine in a large pot over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring them continuously until they melt. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in drops of red food coloring until the color receives a thumbs-up from the chef.

Step 3:
Add the Rice Krispies, stirring until they are evenly coated with marshmallow. Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet.

Step 4:
With waxed paper (or lightly buttered hands), smooth out mixture, spreading it to an even thickness.

Step 5:
Cut out hearts with the cookie cutter. Place each heart in a clear plastic bag, tie on a bow, and they're ready for giving.

Makes seven 5-inch hearts.
