6 cups mini marshmallows
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Valentines sprinkles
Chocolate:
2 cups Navitas Organics Bittersweet Cacao Wafers
1 Tbsp. coconut oil

DIRECTIONS

Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish and line with parchment. Set aside.
Add cereal to a large bowl and set aside.
Melt butter in a large pot on low heat. Stir in vanilla and salt, then add marshmallows and stir until marshmallows are completely melted. Remove from heat and pour into bowl of cereal. Mix with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated.
Spread mixture into prepared pan. Place parchment paper on top and press down into an even layer. Let set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before removing from pan.

In a small bowl, microwave cacao wafers with coconut oil in 20-second increments, stirring each time. Dip half of each rice krispy heart into melted chocolate and place on wire rack.
