Mini M&Ms

One of my favorite candies to grab at the grocery store checkout as a kid were the mini M&Ms in the blue tube. I still look at them every time I go…they taste so much better! It must be the candy shell to chocolate ratio.

This sweet treat combines the classic Rice Krispie treat with festive mini M&Ms and sprinkles. Need I say more?

Ingredients

festive sprinkles – Walmart has great festive holiday sprinkles

A bowl of mini marshmallows, a bowl of Rice Krispies, half stick of wrapped butter, a clear bowl of salt, a pink and red bag of mini M&Ms, and a small clear bowl of sprinkles.

How to Make Valentine’s Mini M&M Rice Krispie Treats

Prep: Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting once the treats are set. Melt the butter in a pot over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until just melted and smooth, then stir in the kosher salt.
Mix and Fold in Mini M&Ms: Remove the marshmallow mixture from the heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the Rice Krispies until coated, then very gently fold in the mini M&M’s.
Press in the Pan and Decorate: Transfer the Rice Krispie mixture into your parchment lined pan and gently press into an even layer. Sprinkle your Valentine’s sprinkles over the top and lightly press them in.
Set & Slice: Let sit at room temperature for 45 minutes before lifting out the parchment, cutting into squares, and serving.
