valentine's day fruit loops treats
Fruit Loops came out with a Valentine's Day cereal, and it's just way too cute. They're bright, fun, fruity heart shapes which I had to make into cereal treats. The sweet marshmallow gooey-ness makes these such a fun Valentine's treat...just ask my nephew, Brayden. I've made them TWICE for him this year. It's a super simple recipe that would be so fun to make with kids!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 1/2 stick (4 tbsp) salted butter
- 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6-7 cups of Kellogg's Fruit Loops Sweethearts Cereal (depending on how gooey you like them. The less cereal, the gooey-er!)
- Valentine's Day sprinkles for decorating
Instructions:
- Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring frequently so that the mixture doesn't burn.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gently stir in the cereal until you reach 6-7 cups. Press the mixture into the baking dish. I spray a spoon or fondant smoother with cooking spray so that it doesn't stick!
- Add a generous amount of Valentine's Day sprinkles on top.
- Let them set for at least an hour at room temperature. Cut them into bars and enjoy!
