How to Make Chocolate Dipped Heart Rice Krispie Treats
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and glossy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.
Lightly grease a heart-shaped pan, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom.
Allow the treats to cool and set in the pan for about 30 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips along with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Once the Rice Krispie hearts are set, gently dip each one into the melted chocolate and place them on wax paper to cool.
For added flair, drizzle extra melted chocolate on top before serving.
