Star Crunch Recipe
Star Crunch is a delectable treat combining crispy rice cereal, melted marshmallows, and caramel, all enveloped in a smooth chocolate coating. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch and a sweet, buttery flavor that’s irresistibly nostalgic.
Ingredients
- 20 soft caramels
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5½ cup mini marshmallows
- 5 cups rice Krispies
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- In a large pan, melt the butter and cocoa powder together over low heat.
- Once combined, stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully mixed.
- Add the caramels, stirring until they are melted and the mixture is smooth—though it may look slightly uneven initially, it will come together.
- Mix in the vanilla and marshmallows until fully melted and combined.
- Remove from heat and promptly fold in the cereal.
- Use a large cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto greased parchment or wax paper.
- Allow them to set for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Notes
- You can skip the cocoa powder and dip the set cookies in melted chocolate for a different twist.
- For extra chocolate flavor, use Cocoa Krispies.
- Lightly coat parchment or wax paper to prevent stickiness, though the tops are not sticky once set.
- This recipe can be easily doubled and frozen for later use.
