Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 10 oz bag of marshmallows about 4 cups
  • 5 cups of dry Rice Krispies cereal
  • non stick cooking spray
  • kitchen funnel
  • aluminum foil

Instructions

  • Microwave the butter and marshmallows on high for 1 minutes in a microwave-safe, very large mixing bowl. Stir the marshmallows and return them to the microwave and heat on high for another minute. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler on the stove top over medium heat.
  • Spray a spatula with non-stick cooking spray and stir them together until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  • Add in the cereal, and use your coated spatula and stir until the cereal's all well coated.
  • Spray or grease a medium-large sized kitchen funnel with cooking spray, and also line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
  • Use your greased spatula to scoop the rice krispies mixture into the funnel, and then place a hand under the wax paper- using the top to press/pack the rice krispies mixture into the funnel for firmly take on the mold, then gently remove your hand from under the wax paper, letting the trest filled funnel rest on top. Gently lift up on the funnel and it should release immediately and easily come away from the rice krispie treat.
  • Repeat, as needed, until you have used all of your rice krispies treat mixture. Let the finished 'kisses' set on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes to allow them to 'set' some.
  • To get your strips, use whatever basic font you want and type in size 20 the 'Valentine's' phrase of your choosing. Set the font color to a darker light blue. Center the font so there's plenty of room on either side. Print, and cut the phrases out of the computer paper into thin 'niggly wiggly' strips.
  • Place a treat in the center of a medium to large sheet of aluminim foil, including on of the overly long sentiment strips. Wrap up the treat completely in the aluminum foil, pressing down all the edges so that's it's as smooth as possible and the sentiment is intended out of the top of the packaged treat.
  • Snip off any excess white on the niggly wiggly to make it the desired length and give one to someone special.

Notes

  • If you want the treats to be more authentic looking, use chocolate rice krispies cereal.
  • These can also be made as is and dipped in melted chocolate that's then allowed to set, before the packaging step.
  • Do not skip the cooking spray. I cannot stress this enough. It will be difficult to work with the cereal treats without it.
  • You don't need to use the funnel to shape them if you don't want to but I do feel like it makes it easier and creates more uniform kisses.
  • Also, if you can find a curved funnel- it will help to give them a more authentic look.
  • Have fun with the sayings!
  • Don't have a printer? Skip the computer and just cut out even strips of plain white paper, and write your sayings in blue marker.
