Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 ounces (about 1 bag) mini marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder
  • 2–3 drops pink food coloring (optional)
  • ½ cup white chocolate, melted
  • ¼ cup Valentine’s Day sprinkles
  • ¼ cup heart-shaped candies (optional)

Instructions

  • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
  • Mix in the strawberry gelatin powder until fully incorporated.
  • Add pink food coloring if a brighter pink color is desired.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  • Using a buttered spatula or a sheet of wax paper, gently press the mixture into an even layer without compacting it too firmly.
  • Allow the treats to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
  • Drizzle the melted white chocolate evenly over the top.
  • Decorate with Valentine’s Day sprinkles and heart-shaped candies.
  • Let the chocolate set before slicing.
  • Cut into squares or use heart-shaped cookie cutters for a festive presentation.

Notes

Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into the pan to keep the treats soft and chewy.For a natural strawberry flavor, substitute freeze-dried strawberry powder for the gelatin mix.Add mini white chocolate chips after mixing in the cereal for extra sweetness.Use pink candy melts instead of white chocolate for a colorful drizzle.Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.Heart-shaped cookie cutters make these treats especially festive for Valentine’s Day.Decorate immediately after drizzling the chocolate so the toppings adhere properly.
