I’ve been craving Rice Krispies Treats all week, so I thought, why not make heart shaped Rice Krispies Treats for Valentine’s Day! The boys each got spoiled by eating one for breakfast. Chocolate for breakfast? Yes! I used to love when my dad would let us eat ice cream for breakfast, the boys were just as excited this morning to eat chocolate and sprinkles this morning!
