Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Large marshmallows
- 2 cups Rice cereal
- 1 pound Soft caramel candies
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 24 pieces Toothpicks or lollipop sticks
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 1 as needed Optional sprinkles or toppings
Instructions
Prepare your workspace by spraying a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Insert a toothpick or lollipop stick into each marshmallow, ensuring it’s secure but not piercing through the opposite side.
Pour the rice cereal onto a shallow plate and spread it evenly for dipping.
In a medium saucepan, add the soft caramel candies and heavy cream. Melt over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Once the caramel is completely melted, remove it from the heat. Allow it to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes to make it easier to coat the marshmallows.
Hold a marshmallow by the stick and dip it into the caramel, covering about three-quarters of the marshmallow. Allow any excess caramel to drip off.
Immediately roll the caramel-coated marshmallow in the rice cereal, pressing gently to adhere the cereal to the caramel.
If desired, sprinkle the coated marshmallow with additional toppings such as sprinkles while the caramel is still sticky.
Place the finished marshmallow krispie on the prepared baking sheet to set. Repeat with the remaining marshmallows.
Allow the treats to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or until the caramel firms up.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
