Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Heat-Resistant Spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Measuring cups
- Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 4 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
- 11 Oz Soft Caramels
- 1/4 Cup Salted Butter
- 1 Cup Mini Marshmallows
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Line your large baking sheet with parchment paper. This stops the treats from sticking later on. Set it aside on your kitchen counter now.
- Place your butter and caramels in the saucepan. Turn the stove to a very low heat. Stir them constantly so they do not burn.
- Add the chocolate chips to the warm mixture. Keep stirring until the mixture looks very smooth. Remove the pan from the heat immediately.
- Gently stir in the vanilla and mini marshmallows. Let the marshmallows melt about halfway for texture. This keeps the centers nice and soft.
- Pour the Rice Krispies into the large bowl. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the cereal. Toss everything gently to coat every single piece.
- Scoop large spoonfuls onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly to look like a disk. Let them sit until they are completely firm.
Notes
- Use fresh cereal for the very best crunch.
- Melt the caramel slowly to avoid a burnt taste.
- Do not over-mix the cereal or it may break.
- Let the treats cool fully before you move them.
- Use high-quality chocolate for a much richer flavor.
- Grease your hands to shape them without a mess.
- Store them in a cool spot so they stay firm.
