Red Velvet Rice Krispies

     So the only reason I really like Valentine's day is because it gives me a reason to bake and put cute little heart decorations on things... And then feed them to my boyfriend and family and friends! I found this recipe on StumbleUpon and just decided to try it because it was really simple, like all rice krispie recipes!

Red Velvet Rice Krispies
(Recipe from this place!)
4 tbsp butter
3 cups mini marshmallows (or more if you prefer more gooey rice krispies like me)
1/3 cup red velvet cake mix (just the powder)
4 cups rice krispies cereal (I use the non-brand name)
1 cup chocolate chips (you can use semi-sweet, dark, milk, or the minis)

Step 1
Prepare a pan lined with parchment paper! Or grease a pan, depends on how much butter you want. Then melt the butter on medium-low.

Step 2
Add the marshmallows and cake mix to the melted buttery goodness. Be sure to stir frequently, don't wanna burn it!

Step 3
After the marshmallows, butter, and cake mix have mixed to make a beautiful fusion, add the krispies and stir, stir, stir! This will give you a nice arm workout.

Step 4
Dump your now ground-beef looking mixture into your prepared pan. Put this pan into the fridge and let it cool for a bit.

Step 5
Get out your cookie cutters and make them shapes! I added a cream cheese frosting to the top for the decorations. It was just a quick mixture of some cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk... I didn't really measure anything out :\ Sorry. Also, I kinda preferred the rice krispie treats without the frosting because I'm not a huge sweet fan, but I do like how cute it made them!

My next posting will probably be something V-day related or SF beer week related... we'll see what happens first!
