Ingredients
  

For the Caramel Coating
  • 50 pieces Kraft caramels for that perfect gooey sweetness
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk adds creaminess and binds the caramel
  • 2 tablespoons butter enhances richness and flavor
For the Marshmallow Center
  • 12 ounces large marshmallows for a soft, chewy core
For the Crunchy Coating
  • 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal provides an irresistible crunch

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • Large Bowl
  • toothpick or skewer
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by unwrapping about 50 Kraft caramels and placing them in a medium saucepan. Add the sweetened condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat on medium, stirring constantly for about 5–7 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Once your caramel is melted and glossy, dip large marshmallows, one at a time, into the warm caramel. Tap off the excess caramel gently.
  3. Coat each caramel-covered marshmallow in about 7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
  4. Place each ball on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and carefully remove the toothpick. Allow the Rice Krispie balls to rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature until firm.
  5. Once set, serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
