Rice Krispies Treats Mice – Valentine Dessert Treat
Holiday treats like this Valentine’s Day fun food are some of my favorite types of holiday recipes to make. Like this adorable ladybug chocolate-covered Oreo cookie, Penguin Valentine Oreos, and Nutella Chocolate Haystack Cookies
These Valentine’s Mice are so cute!
Make them as a fun after-school treat or a fun end to your Valentine’s Day Dinner.
Tips for Making Rice Krispies Treats:
- I like to use Mini Marshmallows instead of regular size. I feel like the heat is better distributed with the mini marshmallows and they melt quicker
- I only use fresh out-of-the-bag marshmallows. When I have used older marshmallows, my treats turn harder and faster and are not easy to work with
- When decorating your treats, work fast while the marshmallow in the treat is still warm. It will act as a glue
- If decorations are not sticking, use a little dab of cake frosting to help glue them to the treat

Equipment
- 3 inch. heart cookie cutter
- wax paper
- 9×13 inch pan
- medium saucepan
Ingredients
- 6 cups Krispy rice cereal
- 4 cups mini marshmallows fresh
- 3 Tbsp. butter unsalted
- ½ tsp Optional – red or purple dye about 1/2 tsp. or until you get your desired color
- 24 Conversation hearts
- 14 oz. Pull N Peel licorice
- 24 Black Nonpareils
Instructions
- 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 the 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 saucepan and use that as glue
Notes
- I like to use mini marshmallows for this recipe
- *use fresh marshmallows from a new bag – I find that if the marshmallows are stale, the treats become stale very quick and are harder to work with
