Quaker Whole Hearts Valentines Day Cookies

 I had a nice lazy (as lazy as you can be with three kids) afternoon planned when my friend dropped off some Quaker Whole Hearts Cereal.  I hear it was on sale at Costco for $1.99 for the super, huge, double box!  I looked and realized the cereal pieces were little hearts!  NO WAY!  Too cute.  Fifteen minutes later my five-year old and I have already whipped up a batch of Rice Krispie…er…Quaker Whole Hearts treats, WITH little heart sprinkles.  They are so cute it is ridiculous!Picture1

 Can you see those cute little heart cereal pieces?  I simply added a few drops of pink food coloring to the marshmallow/ butter mixture.  After we pressed the treat mixture into the pan we sprinkled it with heart sprinkles and pink dragees.  I used heart cookie cutters to shape them.
