Prep: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 99 g Unsalted butter 7 tbsp
  • 415 g Marshmallows ~8.5 cups
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • Pink food coloring
  • pinch Sea salt
  • 185 g Rice Cereal 7 cups
  • 62 g White chocolate bar 2 oz

Instructions

  • Line either a jelly roll, half sheet or quarter sheet pan with parchment. Set aside.
  • In a large pot on medium heat, melt your butter.
  • Let the butter continue to cook until it has browned (another 2-4 minutes). As soon as the butter begins to have a nutty aroma and the milk solids are browning, add all the marshmallows.
  • Turn the heat to low and stir the marshmallows into the browned butter. Add your vanilla and salt.
  • Once the marshmallows have mostly melted, add in your food coloring to desired level of color.
  • Remove marshmallows from heat and stir in rice cereal.
  • Mix until cereal is evenly coated and dump onto prepared sheet pan. Using the used butter wrapper or a rubber/silicone spatula press the rice krispies into an even layer. It doesn't matter if they go all the way to the edge of the pan.
  • Let the treats cool for at least 20 minutes to allow them to hold their shape.
  • Once they are cool, use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out hearts. Using several sizes may allow you to have less wasted space and get more treats.
  • Remove excess rice krispies treats (and store for eating!) and arrange heart shaped treats on parchment.
  • Break your white chocolate into small pieces. Heat either on the stove using a double boiler or in the microwave. If using the microwave, I would recommend heating for 30 seconds, stirring and then heating for 15 seconds, stirring, and then a final 15 seconds to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • When white chocolate is melted, drizzle over the treats. Enjoy!
