  • 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 ounces large marshmallows approximately 40 marshmallows
  • 14 ounces Kraft caramels unwrapped
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted

Instructions
 

  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 14 ounces of Kraft caramels, 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until smooth and creamy. Avoid letting the mixture boil.
  • Insert a toothpick into each marshmallow for easy handling. Dip each marshmallow into the caramel mixture, turning to coat evenly.
  • Immediately roll the caramel-coated marshmallow in 7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Remove the toothpicks and let the Rice Krispie balls cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes to firm up.

For a festive twist, try using colored Rice Krispies or drizzle the balls with white chocolate. These treats are perfect for gifting or party favors!
