Krispy Treat Hearts

Equipment

• 9"x9" Tin
• Parchment Paper
• Spoon or Spatula
• Large Saucepan and hob
• Heart Cookie Cutter
• Bowl suitable for a bain-marie, or a microwaveable bowl or jug
• Piping Bag, or Sandwich bag

Ingredients

• 100g White Marshmallows
• 50g Butter (I used unsalted, but salted would also work)
• 100g Rice Krispies
• 200g White Chocolate
• Pink Food Colouring - I used ProGel! (Optional)
• Sprinkles or any other decoration you want to use! (Optional)

Method

1. Line a 9"x9" baking tin.
2. Gently melt the butter and marshmallows in a large saucepan on a low-medium heat. Keep stirring until the mixture has formed a smooth sticky paste. Be patient, as this will take a few minutes.
3. Once smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour in the rice krispies until they're evenly covered - work quickly as it'll begin to harden fast!
4. Once fully combined press your krispie layer in to the prepared baking tin (I use the back of a spoon or a spatula for this as it's really sticky!).
5. Leave to cool until firm - I chilled them in the fridge for 1 hour, but room temp is fine too!
6. Remove the krispy treats from the tin and use a heart cookie cutter to cut out as many hearts as you can!
7. Decoration: Melt the white chocolate either in the microwave in 10 second bursts, or a using a bain-marie method. When the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, transfer a small amount in to a piping bag (or sandwich bag), and stir in pink food colouring in to remainder, until a pretty uniforn colour is formed.
8. Wait a couple of minutes for the chocolate to cool slightly, then half-dip each heart in to the pink chocolate, and place flat on a piece of parchment paper
Snip the end of the piping bag (or one corner of a sandwich bag), and then drizzle on the white chocolate as decoration
9. Leave to set in the fridge until firm (this will take approx 1 hour), and then enjoy!

Notes

• - Store your Krispy Treat Hearts in the fridge or at room temperature in an air tight container, where they will last for 1+ week!
• - I used white chocolate for decoation, but milk or dark chocolate could be used as a replacement!
