Equipment

  • 1 Large Bowl
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Spatula
  • Non-Stick Baking Spray
  • 9 x13 Baking Dish
  • Heart Cookie Cutter
  • Knife
  • Paper Straws
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Cups Rice Cereal
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 12 Oz Bag of Marshmallows
  • 1 Bag of Freeze Dried Strawberries
  • 1 1/2 tsp Strawberry Extract
  • 2 Oz White Chocolate Melts
  • Heart Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Start by melting butter and marshmallows in a saucepan over medium heat.  
  • As the mixture is melting add your strawberry extract. 
  • Slowly stir the mixture with a spatula and add the white chocolate chips.
  • Once the items are combined add a little over half of your freeze dried Strawberries.
  • Stir and watch as the mixture turns into a creamy, strawberry-scented heaven.
  • Pour this mixture over rice cereal in a large bowl. Mix well, ensuring every cereal piece is coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  • Butter your baking dish and press the mixture into it. Allow it to cool for 2 minutes.
  • Then, with your heart cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes, each symbolizing a bite of love.
  • Use a knife to make a hole at the bottom of the heart. Push the knife close to 3  quarters of the way up and very slightly wiggle it right and left. 
  • Remove the knife and then push the straw into the rice cereal treat heart. If the hole is too big, you can use your hands to lightly squeeze the bottom of the heat to make the hole smaller.
  • Lay your rice cereal heart pop on a sheet of parchment paper and melt your white chocolate candy melts in the microwave until they are completely melted.
  • Put the melted candy chocolate in a piping bag, secure the end and then use a clean pair of scissors to cut a small hole at the tip.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the hearts moving back and forth to create a zigzag motion. 
  • Sprinkle the hearts with the rest of the freeze dried strawberries and some sprinkles.
