Ingredients (makes approx. 20):
300 mini marshmallows
100g unsalted butter
pink gel food colouring (optional)
175g rice crispies
Note: A grown-up must supervise and help with preparation.
Method:
Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm baking tin.
Place the marshmallows and butter into a saucepan and heat over a medium heat, stirring until the marshmallows and butter are melted.
Drop in pink gel food colouring and stir until the marshmallow mixture is evenly coloured pink (this step is optional – you can also leave them colour-free if preferred).
Measure the rice crispies into a large bowl. Pour over the melted marshmallow mixture and stir together until well combined.
Spoon into the baking tin and press the mixture down with the back of a spoon.
Pop in the fridge and chill for around half an hour.
Tip out onto a chopping board, then use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut into hearts.
