Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows, divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 cups rice krispies cereal
- 1 1/4 cup holiday M&M’s
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
- 5 ounces Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers, melted
Instructions
- Line a 13×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in all but 1 cup of the marshmallows. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Add the cereal and the remaining 1 cup of marshmallows and gently stir until combined. Fold in 1 cup of the M&M’s and all the sprinkles.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish. Press GENTLY with your fingertips just until completely spread out. Allow to set one hour.
- When treats are set, lift parchment paper out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Using a 3-inch heart shaped cookie cutter, press down firmly to cut shapes. Save the discarded rice krispie treats to snack on!
- Drizzle the top of each heart with melted white chocolate and add the remaining 1/4 cup of holiday M&M’s (you can even add a pinch of extra sprinkles too). Allow to set about 15 minutes.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For softer treats, use fresh marshmallows.
- Vary the M&M’s and sprinkles to match any holiday.
