Valentine’s Day is coming up fast! This holiday is so fun, because kids love getting involved in the actual Valentine’s. Picking out that Spiderman or Elsa Valentine box for their friends is something they look forward to for weeks! If you are feeling crafty, these DIY Rice Krispie Heart Shaped Valentine’s are just the easiest and they are so pretty! These treats double as a treat and a hair tie! Bam, the gift that keeps giving! Perfect for little girls! For the boys, we wrapped it in brown twine since they won’t be needing a pink hair tie 😉 Read below for directions and ingredients!
Heart Shaped Rice Krispie Treat Recipe
4 TBSP of Butter
6 Cups of Mini Marshmallows
6 Cups of Rice Krispie Cereal
1/2 TSP of Salt (optional)
What Else You Will Need
Wilton Pink Candy Melts

White Tags
Xoxo Rubber Stamp
Directions:
1. Melt Butter in a medium to large pot.
2. Add Marshmallows and stir until you have a liquid.
3. Stir in Rice Krispie Cereal.
4. Scoop out the mixture into a flat pan.
5. Use wax paper to level and flatten out the mix.
6. Let it cool for a few mins then begin to use your heart shaped cookie cutter and cut out your treats. Place treat on wax paper.
7. Put the lollipop sticks in the treats.
8. Melt the Candy melts in 30 second intervals, stirring each time. I recommend using a glass bowl over ceramic.
9. Spread pink icing over each treat, then add sprinkles.
10. Let the icing dry then package them with the treat bags and seal with labels and ribbon!
You’re done, time to shower your friends 🙂
Be sure to leave enough length for the friend to make a hair tie. That is about 6-7 inches.

I love this idea lady! I’ve been wanting to do something fun for my senior model team, and I think this may be just what I was looking for.
On another note – I love how airy and soft your images are.
