Crispy Caramel Mallows

I am the only person I know who grew up eating these around Christmas time. My Mom always made them, and I am not sure where she got the idea or recipe furthermore, I loved them! They are crispy, gooey, chewy, and fun to make with the kiddos. I don’t make them every year because I like to switch up my Christmas cookies every year, but I recently made these this year with my younger kids who I think have never had them.

Why you will love this recipe–

• Only a few ingredients and so easy to make
• Great recipe for kids to help with
• Store nicely in refrigerator so can be made ahead

Ingredients you will need–

• 1 bag of big marshmallows
• 1 can condensed milk
• 1 bag of caramels
• 4 cups of slightly crushed Rice Krispy cereal (you want there to be some crunch to it)

How to make recipe-

Step 1. First crush Rice Krispy cereal slightly. You want to leave whole pieces in to for that crunch.

Step 2. Next melt the caramels at 30 second increments until it starts to melt. Slowly add in about half the can of condensed milk and stir. Continue until all the way melted and add the rest of the condensed milk and stir until smooth.

Step 3. Dip marshmallows fully into caramel mixture, then roll in Rice Krispy cereal and place on parchment paper to set.

Tips-

• You will have to heat up the caramel mixture halfway between making them because it will start to get pretty thick and also hard to work with
• My favorite way to eat them is cold out of the refrigerator!

Storage-

• Store in airtight container on the counter or in the fridge. I always make these a few days ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator, also they are fine left on the counter for up to 5 days.
