Neapolitan Crispy Hearts

If your sweetheart is a Krispy Treat fan–they’re going to love these triple decker Valentine hearts.

The bottom layer is chocolatey Coco Krispies with a chocolate chip “boost.” The middle layer is regular Krispie Treats and the top is a Strawberry jam treat concoction. Add them all up and you’ll find the only thing missing is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you have a heart cupcake pan–these would make a wonderful classroom treat too.

Soooo yummy!
