Sweet Treats For Sweet Hearts

Happy Saint Valentine's Day!  Today we are celebrating small with the boys.  BAP is a having a party at school for the day (100th Day of school and St Valentine's Day). I am sure he will be all amped up with sugar.  Families were asked to bring some sort of treat to school for the day.  I thought these would be fun cut out with a heart shaped cookie cutter too. Rice krispie treats are one of my all time favorites.
