Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 Tablespoons butter salted
  • 16 ounces mini marshmallows divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 ¼ cup M&Ms holiday variety
  • ¼ cup holiday sprinkles
  • 5 ounces white chocolate melting wafers melted, Ghirardelli brand

Instructions

  1. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set it aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour into the prepared baking dish. Press GENTLY with your fingertips just until completely spread out. Allow to set one hour.
  5. 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!
  6. 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

  • Be sure to use fresh marshmallows and cereal. Stale ingredients results in stale treats.
  • I prefer using jimmies (the little log shaped sprinkles). They are soft and look great in these treats. Quins can also be used (these are the flat circles or shaped sprinkles). I would avoid non pareils for this recipe.
  • No cookie cutter? You can buy this heart one on Amazon. Or just cut your bars into squares, that works too!
  • Swap out the holiday candy and sprinkles and cookie cutter shape for any holiday you wish!
  • Store treats in airtight container for up to 7 days.
  • Freeze treats in airtight freezer safe container for up to 30 days.
