What do you need to make Rice Krispies Treats Kisses?
You’ll need a few things:

- marshmallows
- butter
- foil
- printable paper tags
How do you make the Rice Krispies Kisses?
These little Rice Crispy Treat Kisses are perfect for a Valentine party or hiding in your family’s lunches. They’re just so fun! Earlier this week, I hid them in each of my kids’ lunches and Nate’s, too. They loved them!
Make sure you don’t add extra marshmallows to this recipe. I usually make my rice crispy treats with an entire extra bag of marshmallows, but it will not work for this. You need the treats to be pliable and hold their shape, which works great for the typical recipe for making rice crispy treats.
It’s fairly easy to make the treats into kiss shapes. One thing I do suggest is waiting for about 4-5 minutes so that the marshmallows become more of a tacky texture to work with. Otherwise, it’s just complete goo and will melt into a puddle.
Making the Rice Krispie Kisses
The secret to making these easy is use a lightweight foil. I made the mistake of using heavyweight, and it would just not work. When I switched to the cheap light foil, it worked perfectly.
- Pull off square sheets.
- Then, lay the kiss in the middle, and pull up the sides all the way around.
- Gather it just above the top of the kiss and fold it in a twisting way in one direction. You’re twisting it around the kiss treat.
- While twisting it around the kiss, insert the strip banner near the middle top and position it so that it points diagonally upwards.
- When you’re reading to trim the top, do so in a rounded manner like the tutorial below. This will make it easy to twist the top into a perfect kiss shape.

I made up cute little printables to add as kiss banners. They’ll print in landscape mode. Then, just cut them into strips and insert them into the foil.

What a great idea and I love the printables. I’d rather give the kids rice krispy treats than chocolate. I’ll have to make some of these. Thanks for sharing.
For some reason, I thought you bought these in a store. You created them! How cool. 🙂
