Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 10 ounce mini marshmallows about 6 cups
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 6 cups Cocoa Kripies cereal
- Small heart-shaped cookie cutter
- non-stick spray
Instructions
- Spray a 9" x 13" pan with the non-stick spray. Also spray a spatula and the cookie cutter.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add in the marshmallows and stir until melted.
- Stir in the cake mix. The mixture will get thicken as you stir.
- Pour in the cereal and fold to combine well. The mixture will start to firm up, so work quickly but gently.
- Pour mixture into the pan and spread out, flattening with the spatula.
- Place in refrigerator for 15-30 minutes or until set.
- Cut into hearts. I was able to get 24 hearts using a small Wilton heart cutter.
- Because we were transporting them, I placed them on wax paper in Tupperware containers and refrigerated them until about 30 minutes before serving.
