Valentine’s Krispie Treats

Here’s the thing.

This past weekend I flew down to Arkansas to visit Kristan.

Flying isn’t my favorite, I have to say.  I get sweaty and nervous and spot bad guys pretty much at every turn.

Which kind of forces me to engage my spy-sensibilities…

It might be possible that I have been watching too much Homeland lately, but I am convinced I would be a fairly good CIA agent.

I like to solve crimes.  I like to interrogate people, I mean, just ask my husband.  And although I don’t enjoy pant suits, I’m fairly certain with a cute statement necklace or a few fun bangles I could make it work.

Anyway, I was so busy planning escape routes, take-down plans and choreographed karate kicks while sipping complimentary Diet Cokes that the flight was over.

So while I was in Arkansas visiting Kristan, we decided that it would be fun to bake together.

And of course as food bloggers we needed a baking theme.  Of course.

So in preparation for the most annoying holiday of the year we decided on Valentine’s treats.

A whole week of Valentine’s treats.

Are you rolling your eyes yet?

To kick off the fun week of Valentine’s treats I made Krispie Treats.  Valentine’s Krispie Treats.  Totally.

These honestly couldn’t be easier.

All you have to do is make some basic krispie treats.  Here’s my recipe.

I cut them out with a heart cookie cutter…If you don’t have a cutter, you can easily hand cut them…
Then melt some candy melts and dip the tops…
I melted some pink melts as well to drizzle on top…
While those set I made the arrows.

Cut some Popsicle sticks in 2 inch segments…
Use some card stock or construction paper to make the arrow tips…
and the feathery thing on the back of an arrow…
I used glue dots to attach the card stock to the Popsicle stick, but you could use hot glue.

Then dip the end of the stick into a little melted chocolate and press it carefully into the krispie on the diagonal…
That’s it!
