Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 ounces caramels: The heart of the recipe, providing a gooey, sweet base.
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk: Adds creaminess and binds the caramel.
  • 2 tablespoons butter: Enhances flavor and assists in caramel smoothness.
  • 12 ounces large marshmallows: The core, offering a soft, sweet chew.
  • 7 cups Rice Krispies Cereal: Introduces a delightful crunch, contrasting the softness of the marshmallows.

Instructions

  1. Begin by unwrapping the caramels. Place them in your medium saucepan along with the sweetened condensed milk and butter. Over medium heat, stir these ingredients constantly until they meld into a smooth, creamy caramel sauce.
  2. Prepare your large marshmallows by skewering them. One by one, dip them into the warm caramel mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Gently tap off any excess caramel to achieve a neat finish.
  3. In your large mixing bowl, have the Rice Krispies ready. Roll each caramel-coated marshmallow in the cereal, ensuring an even coat that fully embraces each marshmallow.
  4. Carefully transfer the coated marshmallows onto your lined cookie sheet. Here, they will need to rest, allowing the caramel and cereal to set and bond, forming your delightful Rice Krispie balls.
  5. Allow the treats to set for about 30 minutes. This patience is rewarded with a dessert that’s ready to enchant and delight, perfect for sharing or savoring solo.

Notes

  • Tips: For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel mixture or drizzling the finished balls with melted chocolate.
  • Notes: If you encounter any issues with the caramel not sticking to the marshmallows, lightly greasing the marshmallows can help the caramel adhere better.
