#gatronomia Red Velvet Rice Krispies Treats Hearts for Valentine’s Day

You may have noticed I share a lot of Rice Krispies Treats, especially around the holiday. Can you blame me though? They’re sweet, gooey and oh-so-good! And these red velvet treats are to die for! Had it not been for my kiddos little sweet happy fingers, I wouldn’t have found the restraint to not eat them all.
If you’re making these to just eat, no need to get fancy but if you’re making them for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, you’ll want to check out Wilton’s selection of cookie cutters. They have this really nice set of heart shaped cutters that includes 4 different sizes and 2 of them with scalloped edges that would be great for fancy shaped cookies.

In a small jelly roll pan you can press the treats thin enough to cut with the heart shaped cutters. If you look closely you can even see the large chunks of melted milk chocolate that just kinda burst in your mouth as you’re taking a bite.

With a piping bag (or plastic sandwich bag) you can frost these with pretty designs in a cream cheese frosting that makes them even sweeter.

Share ‘em, eat ‘em, whatever you do, don’t leave them unattended and expect to find anything left but crumbs left over. They’re that good!
