- 14 drops green food coloring
- 12 ounces green candy melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9×13-inch pan with butter to prevent sticking.

- Combine with Cereal: Gradually stir in 5 1/2 cups of Rice Krispie cereal, ensuring even coating.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the greased pan. Press down with greased hands or a spatula to create an even layer.
- Prepare Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces of green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil for a glossy finish.
- Decorate: Pour the candy coating over the Rice Krispie layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of heart sprinkles over the top.
- Set and Cut: Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until the coating is firm. Cut into squares and serve.
