Caramel Rice Crispy Marshmallows


Years ago I got this recipe from my sister Leanne. She makes the best things and I couldn't wait to try these. Well, I made these for the holidays one year, along with my cookies and everything else, and every year since I get requests to make them--they're so good! So of course I make them every year! Thanks again Lee-Lee for the recipe for these yummy treats!

8 oz bag of Kraft Caramels (each caramel is individually wrapped, so it takes a little time to unwrap each one)
1/4 lb. butter
bag of large marshmallows
1 can Eagle brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
Rice Crispies --they used to have red and green around holiday time, but for the past few years I haven't been able to find them anywhere. So I've just been using plain ones. If you can find the red and green ones, use those... it makes these look really festive.

Freeze the marshmallows and use frozen (it makes things much easier!). Melt caramels, milk and butter in a pan. Dip the frozen marshmallows into the pan using a toothpick (one marshmallow at a time). Be very careful as the caramel will be HOT. When marshmallow is totally coated with caramel, roll the marshmallow into the Rice Crispies. Set on wax paper to cool when finished.
That's it! Whoever eats one of these, will surely want more!!
