Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 16

Ingredients

  • 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 16 Oz Mini Marshmallows
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 8 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal
  • 2 Cups Green Frosting
  • ½ Cup Red Frosting

Instructions

  • Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter and dissolve the salt.
  • Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract. Then fold in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use lightly buttered or damp hands to gently press the treats into an even layer. Don’t compact them, or the bars will turn dense.
  • Let cool for 1 hour, then cut into 16 squares.
  • Add the green frosting to a piping bag fitted with a grass tip (#233). Pipe the frosting over the front of each Rice Krispie treat.
  • Add the red frosting to a piping bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe a heart in the center of each treat. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make homemade frosting or tint store-bought frosting green with food coloring. Do the same with the red frosting. 
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
