Valentine's Strawberry Rice Krispies Treats

 

Ingredients:

5 tablespoons of butter
1 - 16oz bag of mini marshmallows
1/2 tablespoon of strawberry JELL-O powder

9 cups Rice Krispies cereal

 8 oz bag Jet Puffed HeartMallows strawberry flavor 

To begin this recipe, you need to spray a sheet cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. Add gelatin powder and mix well.

Remove from heat and mix in cereal until fully mixed. Add strawberry marshmallows and mix lightly so they don't melt.  Spread the cereal treats in an even layer in the sheet cake pan. 

Spray your hands with non-stick spray to gently press the cereal treats into a flat, even layer.  Cool for one hour. Use various heart shaped cookie cutters to cut hearts out of the cereal treats.
