The best kind of conversation heart

So these adorable pink salted brown butter rice krispy treats may not have actual words on them, but they will definitely start conversations. They are absolutely delicious and personally I prefer home made things to the store bought candy. You can make them as regular

What you need:
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 bag of marshmallows
Heaping 1/4 tsp salt
Red food coloring
6 cups rice krispies
Red sprinkles

What you do:
1) Melt stick of unsalted butter in a medium sized pot over medium low heat.
2) As it melts, it will get foamy, then clear/yellowy, then it will turn brown (be VERY careful not to let it burn).
3) As soon as it turns brown and smells a little nutty remove it from the heat and stir in the marshmallows.
4) As they are melting add red food coloring and keep stirring until marshmallows are completely melted.  You can return to low heat until they are melted.
5) When they are completely melted, add salt and stir.
6) Add 6 cups of rice krispies and stir in completely.
7) Spread wax paper over a table and pour rice krispy treats onto wax paper.
8) Let cool slightly and spread out evenly across the wax paper so that the rice krispies are about 1/2 inch -1 inch thick.
9) Sprinkle red sprinkles all over the rice krispy treats.
10) Let cool completely.
11) Use knife or heart cookie cutter to cut hearts out. Wrap them in parchment paper or wax paper. Store in an air tight container until you are ready to serve!
