I did this recipe for Valentine’s Day Rice Krispies Treats back in 2015, when my daughter Jersey was only 6 years old. Now 9 years young she has requested these. When she said she wanted the Valentine’s Day Rice Krispies Treats that is on my blog, I told her I didn’t have a recipe for that. She said yes, you do, look. So I did and she was right.

I laugh now even thinking about this, knowing my memory is quickly fading. So while we can’t take these in for the school class party, we will be making these for our family and friends.

If you know a little bit at all you know I am on a huge Rice Krispie Treat fan. Like if I could have them every day, I would. I secretly go to Noodles & Co. just for their Rice Krispie treats when I don’t want to make them or only want one for myself. I may have been known to walk in just for one of them, on a school day and eat it in the car all alone. Hee hee.

When I was pregnant with Jersey and Cannon, the youngest 2 of my 5 kids, I would grab a bowl and fill it with 2-3 scoops of ice cream, then top with Rice Krispies and drench it in Hershey’s chocolate syrup. I would proceed to mix it all together and oh, man I was addicted to this combination.  I would so make this now, but sadly I have no ice cream in the freezer, but you can guess what we will be making this weekend.

A few years ago when I first made these, it was an inspired treat after first finding the pink Jet-Puffed Marshmallows in the store. I remember when I opened the bag I was a little skeptical, as they are strawberry flavored. Then I tried one and still was a little worried but after strong encouragement from the kids, we made Rice Krispie treats with them. I added in the butter, marshmallow cream and Rice Krispies and they came out amazing. My son, Cannon, and his friend, Jace, added the finishing touch of the sprinkles and then voila! These love-day treats were done. Ready in 10 minutes, I can make these suckers fast enough for my serious craving.

  1. Thanks for the fun recipe. I like that you add marshmallow crème. I haven’t tired it that way before, sounds yummy.

  2. The heart cut out treat and arrow through it is just the cutest presentation and PERFECT for Valentine’s day!! Perfectly pink too!

  3. Looks super yummy! Going to make with my 4 year old for his class ❤️ How many bags of marshmallow does this recipe call for? It says 5 Cups so is that 5 Bags (going by the 8oz in a cup rule)?

    1. It is hard to measure marshmallows exactly but Kraft says that about 8 regular marshmallows equal 1 cup. We usually buy 2-16 oz bags of marshmallows and have enough, but if you want to be sure, 3 will definitely be enough. I hope your son and his class enjoy the treat!
