1. Red Striped Heart (My personal favorite)
Using a spoon, spread white chocolate over one side of a heart. Smooth with the back of the spoon. Using a small spoon, drizzle red chocolate back and forth over the white chocolate heart. Set on wax paper and let chocolate set up for 15 minutes.

Sometimes I like to "spice up" my Rice Krispie treats and use a different cereal like Special K.  For some high value kelloggs cereal coupons, visit hip2save.com.
