This past year we started our Valentine’s day making these fun Kiss Rice Krispie Treats for breakfast!
Rice Krispy Treat kisses are fast and easy to make with only a few basic ingredients and they are so fun and festive!
Rice Krispy Kisses
With only 3 ingredients this fun shaped rice cereal treat is inexpensive and simple to make.
Plus since each kiss is individually wrapped in aluminum foil they are perfect for valentines classroom parties, neighborhood get together, or any other valentines celebration.
Making Rice Krispy Treats
First we need to make some Rice Krispy treats. We keep it simple with just marshmallows, butter, and rice cereal (chocolate or regular).
The recipe I follow to make rice crispy treats can be found at the bottom of this post. (If you have a recipe you love, use it.)
To making Rice Krispy treats is melting the butter. You can make these in the microwave or on the stove. I prefer making them in a pot on the stove. So first I melt the butter in a pot.
Once the butter is almost completely melted add 1 bag of mini marshmallows. Melt the marshmallows then remove the pot from the heat.
Make sure you don’t cook the marshmallows for too long or it can make your rice Krispy treats hard.
After removing the pot from the heat add 1 bag of rice cereal (chocolate or regular) and mix it all together.
Once it’s all mixed together let it start cooling just slightly before shaping.
Making the Rice Krispy Kisses
Now comes the fun part. Get a funnel the size you want to make your kisses. (I have a set of 3 funnels my favorite one to use is the middle-sized funnel.)
Make sure to spray the inside of your funnel with cooking spray and spray your hands.
Then push a handful of Rice Krispy mix in the funnel and pack it in.
Make sure the mix has cooled a little bit so it’s not as sticky and you’re able to work with it.
Fill the funnel to make the size of kiss you want, I fill it until it’s flat with the funnel.
Slide the Krispy kiss out onto a silicone baking sheet or wax paper to finish cooling.
Note: You might have to use your hands to shape the kisses. Sometimes they come out of the funnel looking great and sometimes they need a little help.
Keep making kisses until you have used all the cereal mixture. The above recipe made 4 of the medium size kisses and a small one.
If you use the smaller size funnel you can get several more kisses that are a smaller size, but if you use the larger size you will get fewer.
Depending on how many kisses you want to make you may want to double or triple the recipe.
After the kisses have cooled completely you are ready to wrap them.
Wrapping the Kisses
Now you have a few options you can just leave the adorable chocolate kisses on a plate ready for dessert or a party. Or you can wrap them up in aluminum foil which is my favorite!
To wrap the rice cereal kisses I suggest wrapping them in plastic before the foil.
Between the plastic and foil layers, you can add a little tag if you want.
You can easily write your own custom message on this tag or you can type one up on your computer.
The tags I made don’t go around the whole kiss but can be positioned so you see them outside the top of the wrapper.
If you want them to go all the way around simply connect two message strips together.
Now your Surprise Kisses are ready to be shared with friends and family and enjoyed!
