Chocolate Fridays - Chocolate Krispy Kisses

These are a different take on the more traditional Rice Krispie Treat. They are fun for Valentines, because you shape them like giant Hershey's Kisses and you can put a slice of paper with a printed "message" sticking out of the top. :)

1- 6oz pkg. semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

1 cup light Karo Syrup

1 Tbsp. Butter

1/2 tsp Vanilla

6 cups Crisp Rice Cereal

You will also need:

Small to Medium Kitchen funnel, or different sizes

Aluminum Foil

Cooking Spray

Wax Paper

In a large pot, melt chocolate and butter with syrup. When melted, remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Stir in cereal.

Spray a funnel lightly with cooking spray, press in cereal mixture, packing well, filling to top of funnel. Turn onto wax paper and release from mold. Continue with remaining cereal mixture. Cut a square of foil, and place a "Kiss" in the center of it. Wrap it up, twisting foil to resemble a Hershey's Kiss. If you have a "message" on a strip of paper, insert it before you tighten up the top. Voila! You have Chocolate Krispy Kisses.

Or you can just mash 'em into a pan and eat 'em! :)
