Try this sweet spin on everyone’s classic favorite Rice Krispies treats for your Valentine. Similar to cake pops, these tasty heart-shaped treats are first formed then coated in a candy shell. Color the candy melts for a fun, festive touch, sprinkle with a little sanding sugar and give them to someone sweet like a teacher, neighbor or friend!
Prep time: 30 min
Servings: 12 pops

- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 14 oz candy melts
- Assorted colors of food coloring
- Colorful sanding sugar, optional

Preparation
- Melt butter in a large sauce pan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted and well-blended. Cook 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

- Using a buttered spatula or waxed paper, press mixture evenly and firmly into a buttered 13 x 9 inch pan. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
