Delightfully festive Rice Krispie Hearts made by shaping classic marshmallow-coated cereal into heart shapes and decorated with pink and white candy melts. Perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion, these treats are easy to make and fun to decorate.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Rice Krispie Treats

  • 6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® cereal
  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows

For Decoration

  • 1 cup pink candy melts
  • 1/2 cup white candy melts

Instructions

  1. Make the Rice Krispie Treat Base: Prepare the Rice Krispie treats according to the package directions on the cereal box, typically by melting butter and marshmallows together and mixing in the Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
  2. Shape the Treats: Remove the mixture from the pan onto a tray and allow to cool slightly. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes from the Rice Krispie treats.
  3. Melt and Dip Pink Candy Melts: Melt the pink candy melts in a bowl until smooth. Dip half of each Rice Krispie heart into the melted pink candy, covering it partially. Place them on wax paper or a tray to let the candy harden.
  4. Melt and Drizzle White Candy Melts: Melt the white candy melts in a separate bowl. Transfer them into a mini ziplock bag and snip a tiny hole in one corner. Use this to drizzle white chocolate in decorative swirls over the pink-coated portion of the hearts. Allow to harden completely.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the candy coatings have fully set, your Rice Krispie Hearts are ready to be enjoyed or gifted.

Notes

  • Use wax paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking while the candy melts set.
  • If candy melts are too thick, add a small amount of vegetable oil to thin them slightly for easier dipping and drizzling.
  • Store finished treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • For a fun variation, use different colored candy melts or add sprinkles before the candy hardens.
