These red velvet Rice Krispies treats are as great tasting as they are great looking! They’re so very easy to make and made for a great Valentine’s day snack. Nice and crunchy and sweet, with an amazing red velvet flavor. This were a big hit with my wife. How lucky am I?
Treats For The Cook!
I made a batch of these Red Velvet Rice Krispies treats for my wife to take to work today. When you cut out the heart shapes you end up with little scraps, which are the perfect snack size! And by perfect snack size I mean great for me to eat while I cut them.
I love making Rice Krispies treats with a twist. Also try my Shamrock Peeps Rice Krispies. My easy-to-make Rice Krispies with Peeps sryup are great too!
Red Velvet Rice Krispie Treats
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.
