Will You Be Mine?

After having a three-day break from school last week due to the snow, Annie is ready to go back!  And, just in time for Valentine's Day.  She decided that instead of giving her classmates the same ol' purchased Valentine greetings, she wanted to make them a Valentine treat. After discussing a few ideas, we settled on heart-shaped Rice Krispie Treats made with pink marshmallows (and no, I did not make my own marshmallows for this!).  Then she decided we'd dip the tops in chocolate and add a little candy heart decoration.
Place Rice Krispie Treats in well-greased 9x13 pan and cut with a well-greased heart-shaped cookie cutter
When I was melting the marshmallows, I added a little bit of Wilton's "Dora Pink" to pink them up some
Here's a group of them.  We made 15.
Dipped in semi-sweet chocolate with a little sugar decoration on them.

We are going to bag them in Valentine zip-top bags I purchased at Michael's and she's going to also give everyone a handmade Valentine.  She's excited. 

At Amanda's recommendation, I'm linking this post to Sweets for a Saturday here:
