Red Velvet Cake Krispie Treats

I have another simple treat for Valentine’s.  Regular rice krispie treats get a fun makeover just for Valentine’s Day with the addition of some red velvet cake mix and a drizzle of white chocolate on top.  The cake mix give these sweet krispie treats their beautiful color along with some additional flavor.  You can just cut them into squares or use a metal heart cookie cutter for fun heart shapes.  If you make the heart shapes, then you can eat all the scraps!

I also came across this cute free Happy Heart Day printable that would be prefect to add to this.  Just place each krispie in a cellophane bag, tie it with a cute ribbon, and add the printable.
