Heart-Shaped Rice Krispy Treats
If you’re a fan of sweets, but you don’t want to give the typical candy, then a heart-shaped rice crispy treat is a great option! Rice krispies are relatively easy to make and, with the help of a heart-shaped cookie cutter, are the perfect fit for Valentine’s day. If you really want to make this a sweet treat, dip the rice krispy treat into some white chocolate (or some pink chocolate if you add food coloring), and add some fun sprinkles to the top. Now you’ve got an incredibly beautiful, tasty Valentine’s Day treat for your kiddo to hand out to their friends.
