Creative Kids: Valentine Peanut Butter Butterscotch Rice Krispies Treats

Last year for our annual Valentines Day party, my daughter and I made these Valentine Peanut Butter Butterscotch Rice Krispies Treats.  This was a perfect activity for a  preschooler!  Older kids will enjoy it too.

We made them from a Cooks.com recipe (although sometimes the recipe is on the Rice Krispies cereal box).  After patting the mixture in a 10 Inch x 15 Inch Cookie Sheet or Jelly Roll Pan we let it cool in the refrigerator.  Then we added Valentines M&M’s and cut them out with a large heart-shaped cookie cutter.   An easy, eye-pleasing treat for a party!

You will need:

Just follow the easy recipe, and press the mixture in the pan with a spatula or wax paper.

Kids will enjoy pressing the M&M’s into the Rice Krispies mixture!  Add the M&Ms right after pressing the mixture into the pan, then put the pan in the fridge to cool.

Cut out the shapes after the mixture has cooled and set completely.  Bonus: you get to eat the scraps immediately, no waiting for the party!
