Chocolate Covered Rice Crispy Hershey Kisses - Happy Valentines Day

Pin It
I love Valentines day. Now that we have kids it has become more of a family holiday to write sweet notes to each other and make treats for our neighbors. Maybe one day when my kids get older my husband and I will go out to dinner or something, but for right now we give our kids each a special little gift and note and then have a yummy homemade dinner. This year is Chicken Alfredo and Salad and Jell-O {in the shape of a heart}. Some people don’t like Valentines day and say that we should show our spouse we love them all year long, I agree! My husband does a pretty good job of that during the year so Valentines day for us is just a little extra, and I like that!

I love helping my kids prepare all their valentines for their friends. With my son being in public school Kindergarten this year he had a whole bunch put together. My daughter made eight for her closest friends. This year might be a little more difficult because my son is going to come home from school with a huge lot of valentines from friends and my 2nd grader, Lala, won’t. Last year it wasn’t a big deal because she didn’t have anyone to compare to. I have talked to her a little bit about it, but I just hope she isn’t sad when the day finally comes. I have plans to make cookies with her in the morning and play a couple of fun valentines games.
This is what my husband is getting from me this year…but about 8 of them. And another great movie!

I secretly also made one for each of my kids! {don’t tell}

Here is how to make them…

Chocolate Covered Rice Crispy Hershey Kisses

Melt 1 bag of Large Marshmallows and 6 Tbsp. Butter in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Add 1 tsp. Vanilla and 6-7 cups of Rice Crispies, Stir together until all is coated.

Once cooled down a bit fill the funnel and turn it on to a wax paper or non stick surface. I used a small funnel, but I think it would have been cool to make all different size funnels.

Put the Rice Crispies in the freezer for 5 mins to harden a little so they will stay together when you do the chocolate.
