Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 ounces (280 grams) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups (150 grams) Rice Krispies cereal
- 14 ounces (397 grams) caramel candies (about 50 pieces)
Binding Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Gently heat caramel candies, butter, and milk in a saucepan over low temperature, continuously stirring until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Insert a toothpick into each marshmallow, preparing for dipping and coating.
- Carefully immerse each marshmallow into the warm, glossy caramel mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Immediately roll the caramel-coated marshmallow through Rice Krispies cereal, pressing gently to create a thorough, crispy exterior.
- Transfer the freshly coated treats onto a wax paper-lined surface, allowing them to cool and solidify at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Once the caramel has set and the cereal coating has slightly hardened, remove the toothpicks and arrange the treats on a serving platter.
- Serve at room temperature for optimal texture and flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure low and slow heat when melting caramel to prevent burning, creating a silky smooth coating for marshmallows.
- Experiment with different cereal textures like crushed graham crackers or chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor variation.
- Use room temperature marshmallows for easier coating and more even caramel distribution.
- Refrigerate completed balls for 10-15 minutes to help caramel set quickly and maintain a firmer shape.
