Valentines Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

0 Start by lining the sides and bottom of an 13-inch pan with parchment paper. Measure the rice cereal and place it in a large bowl. Set aside.
1 Over a large saucepan, melt butter, marshmallows and salt in medium-low heat stirring constantly, until you have completely melted marshmallows. 
2 Stir in the marshmallow mixture to the rice cereal and mix carefully, coating all of the cereal with the marshmallow cream.
3 Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and use a small piece of wax paper to press the cereal mixture into the pan, until an even layer forms. Let cool completely, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
4 Pull the parchment paper from the sides, taking the cereal treats out of the pan and place them in a cutting board. Cut them into 24 even squares. Using a 1/2" heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut small heart shapes in one corner of each of the squares. 
5 Using a double broiler or the microwave (here are some tips on how to melt chocolate correctly), melt the chocolate, then place it on a piping bag or a zip lock bag, and cut a small hole in the corner. 
6 Drizzle each treat with melted chocolate halfway and add sprinkles, place in a cooling rack or on top of a piece of parchment paper and let the chocolate set completely before stacking or serving.
