Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups  Rice Krispie cereal
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp 1/3 cup salted butter + 2 tbsp for the chocolate mixture
  • 2 tsp  vanilla extract
  • 1 10 oz.  bag mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • colored sprinkles, optional

Instructions
 

  • Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  •  Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows  and stir until they are melted.
  • Stir in the vanilla and salt, then add all of the Rice Krispies cereal. Fold the cereal and marshmallows in until all of the cereal is fully coated.
  • Transfer the coated cereal to your prepared pan. Then I have always put some soft butter on my hands and I pressed the Rice Krispies cereal down until it is an even layer. 
  • Set the treats out and let them cool and set for about 1-2 hours before slicing into small rectangles or squares for dipping. (Really you can slice them anyway you would like)
  • Place your chocolate chips into a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments. Stir between each heating until the chips are melted and smooth.
  • Dip each sliced Rice Krispies treat into the melted chocolate then set aside on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with Valentine day sprinkles.
  • Let the chocolate dry at room temperature (do not refrigerate) for up to 2 hours
  • I hope you love them as much as we do!
