How to Make Dipped Marshmallows

  1. Prepare a double boiler by filling the bottom pot with about 2 inches of water and bringing it to a simmer. In the top pot, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Stir constantly over the simmering water until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Prepare a shallow dish with about 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal.
  4. Carefully stick a marshmallow onto a fork and dip it completely into the warm caramel mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Immediately roll the dipped marshmallow in the Rice Krispies cereal, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Place the coated marshmallow on a wax paper-lined baking sheet to cool completely. Repeat with remaining marshmallows.
