Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 7 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 10 ounces large marshmallows
Sauce Ingredients
- 14 ounces Kraft caramels
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramel Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the Kraft caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and fully melted to create a creamy caramel sauce.
- Coat the Marshmallows: Dip each large marshmallow into the warm caramel mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
- Roll in Rice Krispies: After coating with caramel, immediately roll the marshmallow in the Rice Krispies cereal so that the cereal sticks to the caramel layer.
- Set the Balls: Place the coated marshmallow Rice Krispie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Remove any toothpicks if used for dipping. Let them set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes to firm up.
Notes
- Use a toothpick or fork to dip the marshmallows to keep your hands clean.
- Ensure the caramel mixture is warm but not too hot to avoid melting the marshmallows.
- Storing the balls in an airtight container helps maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on top after rolling in Rice Krispies.
