Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- ¼ Tsp Kosher Salt
- 16 Oz Mini Marshmallows
- 3 Oz Green Apple Jello Mix
- ¼ Tsp Green Gel Food Coloring
- 8 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal
- 11 Oz Soft Caramels Unwrapped
- 2 Tbsp Heavy Cream
Instructions
- Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter and dissolve the salt.
- Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the green apple gelatin mix, food coloring, and vanilla until fully combined.
- Fold in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press it into an even layer.
- Let cool for 1 hour, then use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles.
- Insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each circle treat. Set aside while you prepare the caramel.
- Add the caramels and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Dip the bottom third of each treat into the caramel. Place on parchment paper and let the caramel set for 30 to 45 minutes.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Make sure you spray the utensils with cooking spray; this recipe is sticky.
