Christmas Caramel Marshmallow Rice Krispie Balls
I am all out about no bake recipes, especially during the holidays when I feel like I use my oven nonstop. This easy Christmas recipe only uses 5 ingredients and is another great one for kids to help with! The caramel and marshmallow makes an ooey gooey treat with the pop of the Rice Krispies you won’t be able to resist!
What kind of caramel is best for these Rice Krispie balls?
For the most part any type of caramel will work for these Rice Krispie balls. For convenience I like to use caramel bits they are already unwrapped which makes for easy melting.
How long do these caramel marshmallow balls last?
These need to be eaten the same day you make them. If stored for the next day, the cereal will become soft. The good news is they hard to resist so they won’t last long on any Christmas treat platter.
