Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (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
- Heat Ingredients: In a large stock pot on low heat, combine butter, caramel bits, chocolate chips, and milk. Stir slowly and continuously, pressing down on caramel bits as they soften to help them melt more quickly. This gentle heat process should take about 10-15 minutes to avoid burning the mixture.
- Melt Marshmallows: Add marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly until they are fully melted and integrated with the other ingredients. Once melted, remove the mixture from the heat immediately.
- Combine Cereal: Quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted mixture, stirring vigorously to incorporate before the mixture cools and hardens.
- Form Cookies: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease it. Drop heaping 3-tablespoon scoops of the mixture onto the sheet, then lightly flatten each scoop. You can use a small piece of parchment paper or a measuring cup to flatten the cookies slightly once they have cooled a bit to minimize sticking.
- Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature for about an hour to set properly before enjoying. For faster setting, the cookies can be refrigerated.
Notes
- Set in the refrigerator to make the cookies firm more quickly.
- Spray the cookie scoop or spoon with non-stick spray to prevent sticking while forming cookies.
- Heat ingredients slowly and on low to avoid burning the marshmallows or chocolate.
