½teaspoonvanilla extract
6cupsrice krispie cereal
Decorations
1container14 oz store bought white frosting

Instructions
In a large saucepan, melt butter.
Add marshmallows and cook over medium-low heat until the marshmallow butter mixture completely melted, stirring often.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Add marshmallow mixture to cereal and stir until combined well.
Spread evenly into a 10x15 rimmed baking sheet or rimmed cookie sheet.
Let set at room temperature about 5 minutes. You want the mixture to be set but easy to cut.
Cut with heart-shaped cookie cutters, and place on baking sheet.
To decorate: Divide about half of the frosting into separate bowls.
Melt in microwave for 15 seconds, stir until smooth.
Color with food coloring.
Transfer frosting to a squeeze bottle or piping bag, or dip hearts into bowls to coat the edges or fronts.
Drizzle with frosting and immediately add sprinkles.
When spreading the rice krispie treats in the pan, you can use you a buttered spatula or a spatula sprayed with a little nonstick cooking spray.
Frosting: using store bought frosting is best for this recipe because it melts easily, making it easy to drizzle but then it hardens.
