Exact quantities in recipe card below.
Instructions
Begin by melting the butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, then add the marshmallows and stir constantly until the mixture is completely smooth. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and add in a drop or two of food coloring and stir quickly until desired color. Immediately stir in the cereal, mixing well until everything is evenly coated. Next, quickly transfer the mixture to a greased pan and gently spread it out into an even layer. While the mixture is still warm—but not hot—use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes, then carefully insert a lollipop stick into each one. After shaping, set the treats aside to cool and firm up. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips with the oil, stirring until smooth, and finally dip the back side of each Rice Krispie treat into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off before setting.
Equipment
Anyone can make this recipe! Which makes it so very easy. Having a good heavy bottom pot is an essential tool in the kitchen. I like to use a sheet pan for this recipe, however I don't spread the cereal mixture all the way to the edges. I keep it a little thicker so that my cookie cutters make a great thickness.

Top Tip
Using a quarter sheet pan or a half sheet pan works great. If you use a half sheet pan do not spread to the edges so that it stays a good thickness.
Desserts to try for Valentines
When dipping into the chocolate I like to have a shallow dish of chocolate so that I can dip it quickly then lay on a parchment paper lined baking sheet to set.
