Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter or 1 stick
- 2 cups Kraft caramel bits
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 11 ounces marshmallows
- 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- In a large stock pot on low heat, heat butter, caramel bits, chocolate chips and milk until all melted. It is easier to push down on the caramel bits as they get soft to help them to melt quicker (note: this step might take about 10-15 minutes, but you want to go slow, so it does not burn).
- Add marshmallows and stir constantly until melted, then remove mixture from heat and add in Rice Krispies. Mix quickly before it gets too cool, but ensure it is well incorporated.
- Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease. Drop a heaping 3 tablespoon scoops, then lightly flatten (note: use a small piece of parchment paper or a measuring cup to flatten once very slightly cooled so they have less chance to stick).
- Allow them to fully cool and set for about an hour then enjoy!
