Rice Krispie treat hearts
These Rice Krispie treat hearts are the perfect Valentine’s Day recipe to make with your kids.
- Melt 1 Tbsp (15g) butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 packet (150g) mmmMallows Pink & White (or any other flavour of your choice). Stir occasionally until completely melted, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in 3 cups (375g) Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until cereal is completely coated.
- Line a 25cm square baking tin with baking paper. Add the mixture and press down into an even layer, about 2cm in height. Leave to set for about 2 hours (you can also pop it in the fridge to speed things along).
- Once set, remove the square from the tin and, using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut into hearts.
- Melt your favourite flavour of Heavenly chocolate and drizzle over the hearts for a decadent finish.
Strawberry-mmmMallows-brownie kebabs
These kebabs are a Valentine’s Day recipe trifecta!
Cut store-bought brownies into smaller squares, roughly the same size as your favourite flavour of mmmMallows. Rinse a punnet of strawberries and chop off the tops. Gently push a kebab skewer through a strawberry, a marshmallow and a brownie square. Repeat until the skewers are full.
