Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Double Boiler:
Begin by setting up a double boiler on the stove. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. This setup will gently melt your ingredients without scorching them. Into the top of the double boiler, add the butter and caramel sauce. -
-
Melt and Combine:
Allow the butter and caramel sauce to melt together over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure they blend seamlessly into a smooth, glossy mixture. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be patient and avoid high heat to prevent burning. -
Prepare the Marshmallows:
While your caramel mixture is melting, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to catch any drips and make cleanup easier. Then, take your marshmallows and skewer each one onto a fork or a stick, making them easy to dip. -
Dip in Caramel:
Once the caramel mixture is fully melted and smooth, carefully dip each marshmallow into the caramel, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Be sure to coat each marshmallow generously. -
Roll in Rice Krispies:
After dipping the marshmallows in caramel, immediately roll them in Rice Krispies cereal. Gently press the cereal onto the caramel to ensure it sticks well. The cereal adds a delightful crunch and complements the smooth caramel coating. -
Cool and Set:
Place the coated marshmallows onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow them to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour. The caramel will harden slightly, creating a delicious, chewy texture. -
Storage Tip:
While these marshmallows are best enjoyed fresh, they can be frozen if you wish to make them ahead of time. Just ensure they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Thaw them at room temperature before serving.
Enjoy these delightful dipped marshmallows as a sweet treat for special occasions or a fun family activity. Their rich caramel coating and crispy Rice Krispies make for a deliciously satisfying snack that’s sure to be a hit. 🍬✨
