Key Ingredients:
Rice Krispies Cereal: Classic Rice Krispies are the best texture, but any puffed out rice cereal will also work.
Marshmallows (giant): This recipe uses giant marshmallows, but jumbo or mini marshmallows will also do the trick, if needed. Smaller or larger sizes will require you to adjust the coating process.
Caramels: Kraft caramels melt easily, and work perfectly here. If using caramel bits, you might have to cut the melting time.
Sweetened Condensed Milk: This keeps the caramel mixture creamy and from hardening too much. Don’t go for evaporated milk — it won’t give you comparable sweetness or texture.
Butter: Contributes richness to the caramel coating and stops it from sticking.
