Today, we\u2019re making two kinds of Breakfast Cereal Valentine\u2019s Treats.\u00a0 The first is classic Rice Krispies Treats in the shape of a heart (with several decorating options).\u00a0 Next, we\u2019ll apply the technique of making Rice Krispies Treats to any other cereals you might have lying around the house.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\"Melting
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t<\/span>
\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

You start with the Classic Rice Krispies Treats Recipe<\/a>. Melt about 3 Tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over low heat.\u00a0 Add a 10-ounce bag of marshmallows and stir until they\u2019re completely melted.\u00a0 At this point, I added 2 drops of red food coloring so my final treats would have a pink hue.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\"Cutting
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t<\/span>
\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

Take the pan off the heat and add the Rice Krispies.\u00a0 Mix it up really good.<\/p>\n

Lay out a big piece of wax paper.\u00a0 Turn out the Rice Krispies mixture and mold it into a rectangle about 10 x 12-inches.\u00a0 Let this set and firm up for about 20 minutes. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart-shaped treats.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\"Cereal
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t<\/span>
\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

Now the fun part\u2026 decorating the hearts.<\/p>\n

I used a reliable donut icing recipe to make icing for the treats.\u00a0 It\u2019s just 2 cups of powdered sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla and enough water or milk so that an icing forms when stirred (usually just 3 or 4 Tablespoons of liquid).<\/p>\n

Dip part of each treat in the icing and then sprinkle with jimmies or small candies like Red Hots.<\/p>\n

Other decorating ideas you might try: 1) Use icing to drizzle words on the hearts like \u201cBe Mine\u201d or someone\u2019s name;\u00a0 2) Embed one of those conversational heart candies in each of the treats; or 3) Stick a stick in each heart to make Valentine\u2019s Cereal Pops.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\"Assorted
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t<\/span>
\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

Once you know the recipe for Rice Krispies treats, you can start using other cereals to make super unique Valentine\u2019s treats.<\/p>\n

I randomly grabbed some Whole Hearts<\/a>, Cinnamon Jacks<\/a> and FiberOne 80 Calories Chocolate Cereal<\/a> for a Valentine\u2019s Day treat made with love and<\/em> fiber.<\/p>\n

The marshmallow mixture is exactly the same.\u00a0 I used about 5 and 1\/2 cups total cereal and the treats held together wonderfully.<\/p>\n

For these, I thought a chocolate icing might be a little more apropos. So, I took the icing recipe mentioned above and just added 1\/2 cup of chocolate chips that were melted with 1\/3 cup warm milk and used that for the liquid component of the icing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t\"Breakfast
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t<\/span>
\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all there is to it.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve got a couple marshmallows and a half-empty box of cereal, you can make somebody\u2019s day!<\/p>\n

\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t<\/span>
\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n

Recipe Realities:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rice Krispies Treats can actually be frustrating to prepare.\u00a0 They\u2019re sticky and there\u2019s usually a moment after you combine everything where you\u2019ll worry the treats will never form a cohesive shape.\u00a0 Don\u2019t worry.\u00a0 Have \u201cheart\u201d \u2013 it works 97% of the time, even if your marshmallow to cereal ratio is off.<\/p>\n

To avoid frustration, make sure that your pan is quite large. If you don\u2019t have a big sauce pan, mix the melted marshmallows and cereal pieces together in a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n

To get a nice pre-cut block of treats to work with, I\u2019ll usually transfer everything to a 13 x 9-inch baking pan and then invert the pan onto waxed paper.\u00a0 This gives you a starter-rectangle to work with.\u00a0 Use another large sheet of wax paper on top of the cereal block to press the ingredients to the dimensions you want.\u00a0 Everything will be sticky, but the wax paper will help considerably.<\/p>\n

Have a couple small biscuit cutters standing by.\u00a0 The treats won\u2019t work like a dough where you can clump the remnants back together. I was able to get six 4-inch hearts from each batch and also eight small round treats (which worked great for pops).<\/p>\n
