I’m not sure why, but I am totally psyched about Valentine’s Day this year. Maybe so I can make cute crafts and have an excuse to eat sugary treats! Family Fun has some absolutely awesome crafts! I’m heading out to make some right now…especially the heart shaped rice krispie treats! Maybe I will give some away…or…maybe I’ll just have a little party all my own and gobble them up!!! Here is the recipe:
RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
Cooking spray
3 tablespoons margarine
6 cups mini (or 60 regular-size) marshmallows
Red food coloring
9 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Heart-shaped cookie cutter
Plastic bags, yarn
1. To begin, lightly coat a 10- by 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
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.
3. Add the Rice Krispies, stirring until they are evenly coated with marshmallow. Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet.
4. With waxed paper (or lightly buttered hands), smooth out the mixture, spreading it to an even thickness.
5. Cut out hearts with the cookie cutter. Place each heart in a clear plastic bag, tie on a yarn bow, and they’re ready for giving. Makes seven 5-inch hearts.
