Equipment

Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter
1 10 ounce mini marshmallows about 6 cups
1 box red velvet cake mix
6 cups Cocoa Krispies 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 saucepan or 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.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an air-tight container.
