1
Line 15 x 10-inch (38 x 25 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease and set aside.

Scrape into prepared pan. Spread evenly using wet hands or buttered spatula. Let cool completely.

Invert rice cereal treats onto cutting board and peel off parchment paper. Cut out 12 hearts using 3-inch (7.5 cm) heart-shaped cookie cutter. Reserve remaining cereal treats for another use.
