Serves: 18 to 21 hearts
Ingredients
  • 1 and ½ stick unsalted butter (divided)
  • 5oz mini marshmallows (1/2 a normal size bag typically)
  • 3cups rice crispy cereal
  • 1 sleeve plain graham crackers
  • 11.5oz bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • Decorative sprinkle or candies
Instructions
  1. Line a 9X13 pan with parchment paper (pan should have at least 1" high sides).
  2. Melt ½ stick butter in a large pot of medium high heat. (You can brown the butter if you would like). Add marshmallows, trun heat to medium low and stir until melted and creamy. Take off heat and stir in cereal. Dump into prepared pan and press into a smooth layer using your hands (you can either grease your hands or use parchment paper to keep hands from sticking).
  3. Place all the graham crackers from one sleeve into a food processor. Pulse until completely turned into crumbs. Melt the other stick of butter. Add butter and pulse until combined. Press mixture evenly on top of rice crispy in pan. Place in freezer for at least an hour.
  4. Option 1:Take pan out of freezer and allow to set for a few minutes. Take a deep heart cookie cutter and cut out hearts (if hearts are too hard to cut out use something to help press down on the cutter with - I used a wooden kitchen mallet). Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. (Microwave for a minute, stir, and then microwave for 15 to 20 more seconds, stirring after each time until the chocolate is completely melted.) Using a fork or 2 toothpicks dip the hearts, one at a time, completely in the chocolate and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Before chocolate sets decorate with sprinkles or candy. Place in freezer to set completely.
  5. Option 2: Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. (Microwave for a minute, stir, and then microwave for 15 to 20 more seconds, stirring after each time until the chocolate is completely melted.) Take pan out of freezer and pour chocolate over top spreading into an even layer. Decorate with sprinkle if you wish. Put back in freezer for 10 to 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Carefully cut hearts out with a heart shaped cookie cutter.
