Cut them into a heart shape, dip the tops in chocolate, sprinkle, and you have a sweet treat everyone will be head over heels for.  These little treats are perfect for a bridal shower, a Valentine&#8217;s Day teacher gift, or even just a fun family night treat. Try placing three in a cute pot for an edible love bouquet!

I am a little moronic and like to follow the recipe instructions exactly.  So if you want to be like me, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ricekrispies.com\/Display.aspx?kic=true&#038;recipe_id=1605\">here<\/a> for the official Rice Krsiptie Square recipe. <\/p>\n<p>Once your perfect Rice Krispies are made, cut them into hearts using a Valentine cookie cutter.  Any shape really would look adorable.  I&#8217;ve made X &#038; O&#8217;s, as well as flowers, shamrocks, stars, and just plain squares with birthday sprinkles!  You really can&#8217;t go wrong.  Everyone loves a Rice Krispie square. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rice-krisipie-pops-unfinished.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/rice-krisipie-pops-unfinished-252x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"rice-krisipie-pops-unfinished\" width=\"252\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2996\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Place a popsicle or candy stick into each cut-out rice krispie.  Place Rice Krispies in refrigerator or freezer for five to ten minutes.  The coolness of the rice krispies will help the chocolate adhere quickly and easily to the treats.  Melt your chocolate.  When treats are sufficiently cool, dip each rice krispie heart individually.  Sprinkle each treat immediately after dipping in chocolate being careful to keep them upright while drying.  I prefer to place the dipped choclate treats in a tall glass to dry instead of placing them on wax paper in order to not ruin either side of the rice krispie pop.
