Mice are cute when they’re not real! These Valentines Rice Krispies Treats Mice are the cutest ever! They are so simple to make, too. Come on in, and I’ll show you how.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of krispy rice cereal
- 4 cups of fresh mini marshmallows
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- Optional – red or purple dye (about 1/2 tsp. or until you get your desired color)
- Heart cookie cutter – I used a 3 in. cookie cutter
- Conversation hearts
- Pull N Peel licorice
- Black Nonpareils
- Wax paper
- 9 x 13 pan
- Medium sauce pan
Now:
- Melt the butter in the saucepan and add the marshmallows
- Stir until smooth
- If you want the mice colored, add the coloring now and stir in
- Pour the marshmallow mixture into cereal and mix well
- Place wax paper into the 9 x 13 pan and pour the rice krispy mixture into the pan
- Spread the mixture out evenly
- Let the mixture cool slightly and then lift the wax paper up out of the pan
- Use the cookie cutter to make hearts and place them on another sheet of wax paper for decorating
- Decorate with conversation hearts for the ears, nonpareils for the eyes, red hot for the nose and licorice for the tail
- If your marshmallow treats have cooled too much the nose might not stick. Just grab a little marshmallow from the sauce pan and use that as glue
