Description
Make these no bake Caramel Marshmallow Rice Krispie Balls for a fun, easy treat that kids will love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounces caramels (about 50 wrapped Kraft caramels)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces marshmallows (large)
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Unwrap the caramels: Start by unwrapping all the caramels and placing them into a medium saucepan. This step is great for kids to help with, but make sure to supervise them closely.
- Prepare the caramel mixture: In the saucepan, add the sweetened condensed milk and butter. Over medium heat, stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This step is crucial, so take your time to ensure that the caramel doesn’t burn.
- Dip the marshmallows: Once the caramel is ready, use a toothpick or skewer to dip each marshmallow into the caramel mixture. Make sure to tap off any excess caramel, as too much can make the treats overly sticky.
- Coat with Rice Krispies: In a large bowl, pour in the Rice Krispies cereal. Gently roll the caramel-covered marshmallow in the Rice Krispies until it’s thoroughly coated. This adds that satisfying crunch to your treats!
- Set on a cookie sheet: Place each Rice Krispie ball on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Carefully pull out the toothpick or skewer from each marshmallow.
- Let set: Allow the treats to set for about 30 minutes. This will help them firm up and make them easier to handle.
