This would be a super fun dessert for a party too, and honestly I think any time of the year would be so cute! I steer away from the packaged rice krispies because let’s face it, they are not as good as the homemade ones! Plus, if you are single or have kids, you can have a lot of fun adding in the different type of sprinkles, food coloring or even heart shaped hot spiced hearts! I used to love those little spiced hearts when I was little! I used a heart shape cookie cutter here, but you could really use any shape that you saw fit! Add any color of sprinkles and you are on your way!

In the winter, I make a ton of soup. Like every week, I make soup!
