I Heart Rice Krispy Treats

Even though it feels like we just rang in the New Year, a trip to my favorite craft store quickly reminded me that Valentine's Day is almost here! Everyone who follows the blog knows that I don't bake, but I've been perfecting my culinary skills in the art of rice krispy treat making for years. So here is my latest creation in honor of Valentine's Day.

I started by pulling out a couple of heart-shaped cookie cutters - a big one and a little one.


I made the rice krispy treats using this basic recipe (sorry no pics, I got lazy). I then divided the mix in half and added red food coloring to one half. Once the treats had cooled, I cut out a heart using the big cutter. I then used the little cutter to cut out another heart in the middle of the big heart. Finally I switched the little hearts out - here's the result...


I know I've said it before, but this might be the easiest thing I've ever made!


More Valentine's Day crafts on the way soon...
