Crispy Chocolate Hearts
Create a festive crisp rice cereal treat by adding a handful of memorable ingredients: peanuts, for crunch; marshmallows, for sweetness; and peanut better, for a smooth shot of rich flavor. This giftable dessert is delicious any time of day, but we prefer it with coffee in the afternoon.
