Hidden by other amazing Martha's Valentine ideas this super easy little treat is a new obsession of my family. I did a small substitution and that's because I did not have on hand rice cereal but instead a very big box of cheerios that no one wants to eat since its plane. I followed the recipe and I already had to make a second batch. Thank you Martha for another wonderful idea!
