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.

First pour about half of the cereal into a bowl and set aside. 

Then place the caramel bits, butter, and the condensed milk into microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, take out and stir. Continue to do this for about 3 minutes or until everything is melted and incorporated. 

Next place a marshmallow on the wooden skewer and dip into the caramel mixture. You will want to tap off the excess.

Place caramel marshmallow into the bowl of rice krispies and roll. Pull out the skewer and make sure the entire marshmallow is covered in rice krispy cereal.

Finally put on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Let set for about 45 minutes to harden. 

Enjoy!
