Rice Krispy Treats

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (10oz) mini marshmallows
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 6 cups of Rice Krispy Cereal
  • Sprinkles (optional)

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add marshmallows and stir constantly until the bag of marshmallows are completely empty. Turn the stove off and stir the Rice Krispy Cereal until completely combined. Sprinkle as many sprinkles as your heart desires and pout the mixture into a 9×13 inch pan to cool. Finish off by using fun cookie cutters to make heart shapes.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crackers

Ingredients:

  • Peanut butter
  • Chocolate almond bark (about 3 oz)
  • Ritz crackers
  • Sprinkles (optional)

Spread peanut butter between two Ritz crackers and set them aside, making as many as you would like. Then, over a double boiler, melt the almond bark on low heat. After the almond bark is all melted, remove from heat. Then place the peanut butter Ritz crackers into the melted almond bark using a fork to get it completely covered. Finally, scoop the Ritz up with the fork, tap off the excess almond bark, set on parchment paper and pour sprinkles on them before they cool.
