With Valentines coming up we thought it would be best to provide you with a cocktail and dessert recipes for Galentine get togethers. I am going to be teaching you how to make a sparkling margarita (have to stay true to our tex-mex roots) and some rice crispy treats with a touch of valentines.

1 cup silver tequila

1/2 cup orange liquer

1 bottle champagne (about 3 cups)

VALENTINES RICE CRISPY TREATS

1. Use a large saucepan to melt the butter on low heat. Stir in the marshmallows until everything is melted and fully mixed together. Remove from heat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the rice cereal then use a spatula to fold in the melted marshmallow mixture. Fold until completely combined and well coated.
3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper to evenly press mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray.
4. Let cool for about 40 minutes and then cut into 2 inch squares.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips on 50% power for one minute. Stir. Continue this process until the mixture is melted and smooth but not overheated.
