Red Velvet Rice Krispies Treats


I stumbled on this recipe the other day and figured with Valentine's Day coming up it was probably a very good time to try it. It is really tasty and hits the spot if you are in the mood for rice krispies treats and/or red velvet cake. I made these today with the help and company of my lovely mother (thanks Mom).

Ingredients
8 tablespoons of butter
10oz bag of mini marshmallows
2/3 cup of Red Velvet Cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
2 cups of chocolate chips
a tub of cream cheese frosting (once again I used Duncan Hines)


In a large pot, melt the better. Once it is melted completely, add the marshmallows and powdered cake mix. When those are melted take the pot off the heat and mix the cereal and then the chocolate chips in. 



Scoop the mixture into a greased 13x9 pan. Use parchment paper or wax paper to press down on the cereal to make it even. Let it cool completely.  


Finally, frost the treats by either spreading or piping. An easy way to pipe without professional piping tools is by putting the frosting in a plastic baggy. Cut one of the bottom tips of the baggy and you can now pipe away. Enjoy and Happy Valentines Day.
