Valentines Day Inspiration: Red Velvet Rice Krispie Treat Hearts

I hate to admit that when I made these last year, the boyfriend and I polished the pan within a day. They were heavenly. 

Ingredients

• ½ cup butter
• 1 (10.5 oz) bag mini marshmallows
• ¾ cup Ducan Hines red velvet cake mix
• 8 cups rice krispies cereal
• ½ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Spray a 9 x 13 dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium low heat.
3. Add marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are melted and combined well with the butter.
4. Whisk in the cake mix until well blended.
5. Add the rice krispies and stir until cereal is well coated.
6. Remove from heat and add to the prepared 9 x 13 pan. Use a piece of waxed paper or parchment paper to press the cereal into pan until level.
7. Allow to cool.
8. Once cooled, cut into squares with a knife or use a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut into heart shapes.
9. Place white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals until melted and smooth.
10. Place chocolate into a quart sized freezer bag. Snip off the corner of the bag with scissors creating a small hole. Pipe white chocolate over the krispie treats and allow chocolate to cool. Makes 18 treats.
