Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate cereal, crushed
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chocolate cereal
  • Candy sprinkles

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with foil, extending the edges over the sides for easy removal, and lightly grease the foil. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, crushed chocolate cereal, brown sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.
  • Add the softened butter and vanilla, mixing until the dough comes together. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes or until it’s light golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crust with miniature marshmallows. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the marshmallows begin to puff.
  • Prepare the Topping: In a medium saucepan, heat the light corn syrup, butter, and vanilla over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the milk chocolate chips until melted and fully combined. Gently fold in the chocolate cereal to coat evenly.
  • Assemble and Decorate: Immediately spoon the warm topping over the marshmallow layer, spreading gently to cover. Sprinkle candy sprinkles over the topping while it’s still warm. Let the bars cool completely in the pan.
  • Cut into Hearts: Once the bars have set, lift them out of the pan using the foil overhang. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes.

Notes

  • The bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Feel free to use different types of cereal or candy decorations based on your preferences.
