Ingredients
- Butter- You will need salted butter for this recipe.
- Marshmallows- You will need mini marshmallows for this recipe.
- Rice Krispies- This will be the main ingredient for that crunchy texture.
- Raspberries- You will need to use freeze-dried raspberries.
- Melting wafers- You will need white chocolate melting wafers.
- Sprinkles- This is optional to add in or on top of the recipe.
How to Make Valentine Rice Krispie Treats
Use parchment paper to line a 9×13-inch pan.
Measure out all your ingredients, ( 8 C and 2 C divided) of the mini marshmallows, cereal, and raspberries. You will need to hurry with this part so you can add them in quickly.
Add the butter to a large pot and melt over low heat, put in the marshmallows, and continuously stir until fully melted.
Take away from the heat and quickly add in the cereal and raspberries plus the rest of the marshmallows and mix until fully coated.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared pan and use parchment paper to create a wall between your hand and the Krispies and press down gently to form the Krispies to the pan. Do not press too hard or the Krispies will become too hard.
Let the Krispies cool for about 30 minutes to room temperature.
Slice into squares and then, melt the wafers in a medium flat-bottom bowl. Do this in 30-second intervals and mix in between each one.
Dip one side of the Krispies into the melted chocolate and put it on parchment paper. If you have leftover melted chocolate, drizzle for decoration on top of the Krispies and top with sprinkles if you plan to use them.
Allow the treats to cool for another 30 minutes before enjoying them.
How Long are Homemade Rice Krispie Treats Good?
If you place these Valentine’s Day Rice Treats into the freezer, they will last about six weeks. You will want to place them in an airtight container. The reason they will not last past 6 weeks is that they will most likely lose moisture and become way too hard to eat.
Why Can’t I Use Marshmallow Fluff in Rice Krispie Treats?
You will be using mini marshmallows in this Rice Krispie Recipe. You can’t use fluff because of the consistency. The use of fluff will make the rice Krispies way too sticky and harder to stay together.
