Ingredients
- half a stick of butter
- 1 bag of marshmallows 10 or 16 OZ
- 1 box of Rice Krispies If you use a 16 OZ bag of marshmallows, you might want a box and a little extra
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- non-stick cooking spray
- Popsicle sticks
- white melting chocolate
- Valentine’s Day Sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the butter in the bottom of a large bowl. Pour the marshmallows on top.
- Microwave in 30 second intervals until the marshmallows are just melted.
- It is possible to scorch marshmallows so watch them closely.
- They are ready when they look mostly melted with a few visible lumps still left in them.
- Mix the marshmallows until smooth, adding the salt and vanilla.
- Add the box of cereal and mix until they are thoroughly covered.
- Spray a 10×13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Dump the mixture into the pan.
- Wet your hands and shake off the excess water.
- Press the mixture down into the pan.
- The moisture on your hands will keep the cereal from sticking to your hands.
- Allow the pan to cool completely.
- Cut the Rice Krispie treats into squares and put a popsicle stick through each one.
- Melt the white chocolate in a bowl, 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate easily stirs smooth.
- Dip the bottom of each pop into the chocolate and then immediately dip them in sprinkles.
- Allow the pops to set on a sheet of wax paper.
