Ingredients

¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter
10 ounces (284 g) mini marshmallows
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
red food coloring
¼ teaspoon salt
6 cups (168 g) rice krispies cereal
10 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
heart sprinkles
red and pink jimmies

Instructions

Line 9x13 pan with parchment paper (or lightly grease) and set aside.
In a stock pot over low heat, melt butter.
Add mini marshmallows, salt, and vanilla extract, stirring until mostly melted. Remove from heat.
Add a few drops of red food coloring and stir to create a pink color.
Add cereal and stir until evenly coated. Using a spatula, press cereal mixture firmly into prepared 9x13 pan.
In a microwave safe bowl, add white chocolate melting wafers. Microwave in 30 second increments and stir until melted.
Pour over treats and spread edge to edge in an even layer. Top with sprinkles while chocolate is still wet. Refrigerate for up to 10 minutes, or until set.
Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

Storage: Rice krispies treats will keep for about two days in a tightly sealed container at room temperature. Leftovers can be frozen for up to three months.
Make ahead: If making ahead, store rice krispies treats slab whole and slice the day of serving. Slicing and storing separately will dry out treats faster than leaving whole.
