This sounds like it could be a very fun and interresting project to dig into! And if you ask me, the prize is not too shabby either!

Need an idea?

One of the recipes listed on FamilyFun is a Sweet Heart Krispy Treats

 What You Need:

Cooking spray
3 tablespoons margarine
6 cups mini (or 60 regular-size) marshmallows        
Red food coloring
9 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Heart-shaped cookie cutter
Plastic bags, yarn

What to do:

  • To begin, lightly coat a 10- by 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside. Melt the margarine in a large pot over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring them continuously until they melt. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in drops of red food coloring until the color receives a thumbs-up from the chef.
  • Add the Rice Krispies, stirring until they are evenly coated with marshmallow. Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet. With waxed paper (or lightly buttered hands), smooth out the mixture, spreading it to an even thickness.
  • Cut out hearts with the cookie cutter. Place each heart in a clear plastic bag, tie on a yarn bow, and they’re ready for giving. Makes seven 5-inch hearts.
