Servings: 15 cookies
Calories: 154kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 15 soft caramels about ½ cup caramels or about 100g
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups rice krispies cereal
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat marshmallows, chocolate chips, caramels, butter and vanilla extract until smooth
- Remove from heat; stir in rice krispies until completely coated
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop even amounts of rice krispie mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet; then using a greased spoon or fingers gently press down to flatten into a cookie shape
- Chill cookies in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to allow them to firm
Notes
- It really helps to spray your spoon well with cooking spray before you stir the marshmallow mixture together. This will help prevent everything from getting stuck to the spoon.
- Spray your cookie scoop before you scoop each cookie out to make them easy to release.
- If you are making these in the warmer months, you may want to store them in the fridge to keep the chocolate from melting. Just take them out of the fridge a few minutes prior to eating them so they soften up a bit.
