Sweetheart Rice Krispies Treats

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a happy holiday filled with the ones you love.

Most years on Valentine’s Day I would be away in Mexico and I wouldn’t be home to celebrate with my kids.

I always love getting them a small present. Usually, it is something dorky and uber mushy, a card and some yummy treats – like these Sweetheart Rice Krispies treats.

When I was away, I would go out and buy their gifts so that my mother could give them to the kids on Valentine’s Day.

One year my older kids left for a long weekend with their dad, he was taking them skiing, and they wouldn’t arrive home until Tuesday evening which was after our departure to Mexico.

Feeling a bit heavy-hearted I went ahead and made some delicious treats for them, a little pre-celebration if we must.

So cue in mushy, emotional mom, I snuck these delicious Sweetheart Rice Krispies Treats into their luggage so when they got to their dad’s house they would find them.

Now it is a yearly tradition for me to make these, whether I am home or abroad, my kids enjoy them every year!
