Here’s a fun and simple recipe for super cute pink heart crispy cake pops.
It takes very little time to prepare with very effective results. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, or any day really, and it’s great fun to make with the kids.
Here’s how to make around 8 medium sized crispy cake pops that are just the right balance of chewy and crispy.
Ingredients
- 50g (1.75 oz) lightly salted butter plus a little for greasing your dish
- 350g (12.5 oz) marshmallows
- 200g (7 oz) rice crispies
- 5 drops red food colouring
Instructions
Melt the butter over a low heat.
Stir in the marshmallows until fully melted.
Take off the heat and add the food colouring.
Stir in the rice crispies until well combined.
Press into a greased tray and pack down well. If your hands keep sticking, try rubbing some butter on them.
When completely cool, cut out the heart shapes – cut them as close together as you can to maximise space (you can of course eat the offcuts too!)
Push a pop stick into each one and you’re done!
Aren’t they cute?!

Sarah says
7 February, 2016 at 2.57pmDo you realize if there is no cake, it’s NOT a cake pop? You put rice krispies on a stick. A cake pop is cooked and cooled cake with frosting mixed together.
Emily Leary says
7 February, 2016 at 3.17pmMarshmallow and rice crispies are called crispy cakes where I come from, and things on a stick are called pops, hence “crispy cake pops”.
