"Delicious and easy, these caramel laden cookies are always a hit. They're best on the second or third day."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 48 snowballs

ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) bag caramels
• 1⁄4 lb butter (must be the real thing)
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (16 ounce) bag large marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies

directions

1. Place cereal in a large bowl and set aside. In a large microwave proof bowl, place unwrapped caramels, butter and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on high, at 60 second intervals, until completely melted and blended together. Stir after each 60 second interval. Remove from microwave. Immediately dip marshmallows, one at a time, into the warm caramel to completely coat. Remove marshmallows from caramel mixture and drop into cereal and toss to thoroughly coat. Once coated with cereal, place on wax paper to "set". Continue with remaining marshmallows. If any remaining caramel is left, it makes a GREAT apple dip!
