Cook Time 2 mins

Course Dessert

Servings 24 up to

2 bags Mini Marshmallows
3/4 cup Butter (melt for 1 minute in the microwave before adding to marshmallows)
1 box Rice Crispy cereal

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add 2 bags of mini marshmallows & 3/4 Cups very softened butter (slightly melted is great...basically we don't want cold hard butter straight from the fridge).
Cook marshmallows in the microwave until completely melted. To avoid overcooking your marshmallows, use 30-second increments to ensure they are being watched closely. Stir each time your 30 seconds end
Once the mixture is soupy and smooth, it's done. This process does not take long!!!Make sure the butter and melted marshmallows are thoroughly mixed so your treats are not tough
Start adding your rice crispy cereal a little at a time.Keep adding and mixing until you've reached the desired consistency. You want to keep a nice balance of cereal to marshmallow mixture. The cereal should be coated evenly and your mound of rice crispy treat should feel nice and firm, but able to be shaped
Pat treats into a greased jelly roll sheet pan.
Let cool completely before cutting out heart shapes.

Place 1 cup of white chocolate melting chips in a microwave-safe bowl.Follow the same guidelines as you did melting the marshmallows and butter. Watch your melting chocolate closely!
Stir periodically through melting and do not overcook. Stirring helped the process along.
Once melted, add food coloring (if desired) and put chocolate in a piping bag.
Drizzle over the treats and allow the chocolate to set up and completely harden.
If no food coloring is desired, drizzle the white chocolate over the treats and add some fun Valentine's Day sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
