#40 Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramel chews
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted Butter
- 4 cups Rice Krispie cereal
Instructions
- Melt the Ingredients: In a large pot or Dutch oven, add 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup caramel bits, and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in the Cereal: Once the mixture is melted, immediately pour in 4 cups Rice Krispie cereal. Stir quickly to coat every piece in the melted chocolate caramel mixture.
- Shape the Cookies: Remove from heat. While the mixture is still warm, use a large cookie scoop or spoon to drop portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flatten & Shape: Let the cookies sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. While still warm but not hot, use a piece of parchment paper to gently press down on each cookie, shaping it into a circle.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Room Temperature Storage: Store them in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days. A sheet of parchment or wax paper between layers keeps them from sticking together.
Fridge Storage: If you like a firmer bite, pop them in the fridge. They’ll stay good for up to a week, but let them sit at room temp for a few minutes before eating so they’re not too hard.
Freezer Storage: Want to make a big batch ahead of time? Freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight container or zip-top bag. They’ll last up to 3 months—just let them thaw for before eating.
