Caramel Marshmallows

Sunday night I shared a Christmas recipe favorite of mine..today I am sharing one of my son Buck’s favorites.  Kalissa made these.

I always made these as them were fairly easy and didn’t require the stove.  Sometimes when many are helping back, one can be at the  stove and others at the table.

What they are is a marshmallow dipped in caramel and then dipped in rice krispies.  This time around Kalissa wanted to make them so Kelli (who is gluten free) could eat them.  We didn’t have the actual gluten free rice krisipies on hand so she smashed up some Honey Nut Chex’s we had here and they are ever better.

Here’s the recipe:

1 stick margarine
1 14 oz bag of caramels
1 can sweet condensed milk
1 large pack of large marshmallows
1 box of rice krispies

Melt margarine, caramels and sweet condensed milk.  I do it in the microwave…I heat for 1 minute then stir repeating until it’s melted.  Stick the marshmallows with a skewer-then dip in the caramel and then in the cereal.  Put on waxed paper to dry.

I would actually recommend cutting the marshmallows in half.  These are big if you don’t.

These are very kids friendly…you might want to give them a try especially if you have a marshmallow lover at your house.
