Valentine Rice Krispie Treats

Who doesn’t love a Rice Krispie treat? I made half of these the original way with just marshmallow and butter and the other half I added Nutella into the mix. I can’t stop with Nutella lately.

These are so easy to make and no oven needed.

These are so simple and only take a few steps.

First melt the marshmallows and butter in a saucepan.

Keep stirring and make sure the mixture does not burn.

Once it’s smooth and completely melted, stir in some melted Nutella to half of the marshmallow mixture but that is optional. For me it’s not, I must have the Nutella.

Then dump all the melted marshmallow and butter into a bowl of Rice Krispies and mix. Try not to eat too much of this delicious mixture or you might end up with only enough for a couple treats.  

Mix and spread out in baking pan. As soon as they cool they are ready! Just cut them up however you want and decorate. I dipped half of the ends in melted white chocolate with a teeny bit of red food dye to make them pretty in pink and drizzled some with melted Nutella and pink sprinkles.

I added Nutella into the marshmallow and butter mixture for some of my treats. You can leave that out or you could add melted chocolate. For the decorations I used melted white chocolate dyed pink and drizzled some metled nutella over the top and pink sprinkles.
