Ingredients:

• 14 ounces individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped (such as Kraft)
• 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 60 large marshmallows (fresh and soft are best)
• 8 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

Directions:

1. Prepare Caramel: Set up a double boiler over medium-low heat. Combine caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter, melting until smooth. Alternatively, melt these ingredients in the microwave on low, stirring often to prevent scorching.
2. Prep for Coating: Line a large baking pan with wax paper. Pour a couple of cups of Rice Krispies into a medium, wide bowl and set aside.
3. Coat Marshmallows: Drop a marshmallow into the caramel mixture. Using two forks, quickly turn it to coat completely. Lift it out, letting excess caramel drip off. Roll the coated marshmallow in the Rice Krispies until fully covered, then place it on the prepared baking pan. Repeat with all marshmallows, working in batches and adding more cereal to the bowl as needed.
4. Set and Store: Allow the caramel to set. Store the puffs in an airtight container, with wax paper separating layers. Refrigerate if consuming within a few days, or freeze for longer storage.
