Helpful Tips

Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture—older ones won’t melt as smoothly.
Add the food coloring before mixing in the cereal to get even color throughout.
Let the mixture cool slightly before pressing into the pan to avoid sticky hands, and use a buttered spatula or wax paper to press evenly.

10 ounce bag of JET-PUFFED Marshmallows
6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® cereal
Red food coloring
Valentine’s sprinkles optional

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once melted, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Drop in the red food coloring until your desired color is reached. We used 3 drops of liquid red food coloring. Remove from heat.
Quickly add Rice Krispies cereal and stir until well coated.
Use a spatula to transfer the mixture onto the baking sheet. With lightly buttered fingers, press the mixture evenly to about 3/4” thick. Sprinkle with Valentine’s day sprinkles Cool completely.
Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the tray of Rice Krispies Treats.

Notes

These are best if served the same day but can be stored for up to 3 days in an air tight container.

Use red or pink food coloring; add as much as you like. Keep in mind that the color will look more muted when you add the cereal.
