First lay out some parchment or wax paper into your 9x13 baking dish (or butter the pan).
In a large pot, turn the heat to low on the stove and add in the butter. Add in the mini marshmallows and let melt, stirring once in a while.
Add a few drops of red food coloring to your liking (can make pink or red).
Add in the rice cereal and stir until well combined. Then pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. I like to spray my hands with some non stick spray and press down into the pan. Let set for 30-60 minutes.
Remove the treats from the pan out onto a cutting board. Spray your cookie cutter with some non stick spray and cut out as many as you can into hearts.
Decorating Rice Krispies Treats
Place some parchment paper on a baking sheet, plate, or counter. Melt the candy melts according to package instructions. I used the microwave in 30 second intervals.
Then dip each heart Rice Krispies into the melted candy, set on parchment paper, and add sprinkles before the candy sets.
Notes
Once cooled, store in air tight container.
