No ratings yet
A delightful combination of chewy marshmallows, creamy caramel, and crispy Rice Krispies. Perfect for parties, holiday treats, or a fun family dessert!
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.
Serve as is or enhance with melted chocolate drizzle or festive sprinkles. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
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!
