I figured I would make the Rice Krispie treats into hearts and then dip them in chocolate. My daughter could then decorate to her hearts delight!
I doubled the recipe to yield 16 small hearts and lots of left over pieces!
- 6 Tbsp. butter
- 2 10oz. packages of large marshmallows or 8 cups of mini-marshmallows
- 12 cups of Rice Krispies
- Melt butter over low heat
- Once butter is completely melted, add in marshmallows
- Stir until marshmallows have completed melted
- Add Rice Krispies
- I buttered 2 9/12 inch aluminum trays
- I then split the mixture into the two pans
- Grease your hands using butter flavored cooking spray or plan butter and pat the mixture down into the pan so it is even
- Let it sit and cool for at least a half hour
- Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut into the rice krispie treats
- I was able to get 8 hearts out of each tray
- Lay the hearts on waxed or parchment paper
- 8 ounces milk chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
- 1 Tbsp. shortening (ie crisco)
- Over a double broiler on LOW heat (or you can place metal bowl into a small saucepan) combine chocolate and shortening
- Stir until completely melted
I covered half of my hearts then let my daughter sprinkle them with various decorations. Set back on wax paper to cool
