These little Valentine’s Day rice krispie treats are a simple, fun way to spend a cold Saturday afternoon with the kids. If you are in Minnesota cold means… -30 windchill. The kind of cold that freezes your breath before you even get a chance to THINK about breathing. But that’s okay, I can hibernate inside with my kids and cover krispie treats in chocolate and candy.
These treats don’t need a recipe or instructions. In fact, they are so simple I feel like I’m cheating you all a bit out of a recipe post. But hey, I am constantly reminded by my readers that they come to NellieBellie because I give them the ideas and recipes they would never think of. So, let’s hope these cuties are one of those that you wouldn’t normally think of :).
My kids are old enough that the passing of Valentine’s around the class doesn’t happen anymore. That makes me happy and sad. Happy because remembering to buy those Valentine’s cards for the entire class was a pain. Sad because my kids are getting older and beyond some of the cutsie stuff.
These “Orbit” Gum Valentine’s were from a few years ago. Cute. But gosh do I NOT miss doing up this stuff yearly!
Them being older and not interested in the cutsie candy and cards of Valentine’s won’t stop me for one minute from forcing them to spend an afternoon making these cute guys. Phones down, music on… let’s go, it’s family togetherness time!
HOW:
Simply make a batch of Rice Krispie treats and form them into hearts before it cools (be sure to use damp or greased hands!).
Melt white chocolate, candy coating, or milk chocolate and spread on the top of the hearts.
Decorate with candy or icing.
Easy!
