How to Make Marshmallow Caramel Rice Krispies Treats

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 14 ounces caramels, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted margarine, and 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk.
  2. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramels and margarine are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  4. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  5. Using tongs or a fork, dip each frozen marshmallow into the caramel mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Immediately roll the coated marshmallow in 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal until completely covered.
  7. Place the coated marshmallows onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Repeat steps 5-7 until all marshmallows are used.
  9. Let the treats cool and set completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes) before refrigerating.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
