Grandma B's Caramel Marshmallows

The reluctant poser introduces famous holiday home cooking by Grandma B...

Josie, I put looooots of pictures so you can hang in there. These are a holiday requirement by Wade, all in a happy memory to his lovely grandmother who passed away in 2002. I hope you all will enjoy these too!


Here's the ingredients...


  • stick of butter
  • sweetened condensed milk
  • caramel squares (80)
  • marshmallows, big ones
  • Rice Krispies






Insider tip:

You want those marshmallows to be soft, each one still holding their individual dusting. See how they naturally separate when I open up the bag. Use marshmallows like these, not the leftover bag from canyon s'mores four months ago.








Snip those suckers in half.












Melt the butter, milk, and caramels in a double boiler. If you don't have a double boiler (like me) no big deal! Boil water and put a pie plate or casserole dish above the water (but not immersed at all in the water).






sugar + fat = Christmas Delights and New Years Pains



Stir it together. When it look like this, you're ready to roll. Let's set up our assembly line. Right to left: 1) marshmallows 2) caramel 3) rice krispies 4) wax paper




Yum.

By the way, is this recipe a Grandma B original? What other holiday treats was Grandma B famous for?

Grandma was also famous for her toffee and peanut brittle among other things.
Your pictures made me SOOOOOOO hungry for one of those things! When did you make those, because if you have any left, I'm coming over! ;)

Sadly, "Lundstrom Activity Days" (you've got to do something about that), they are all gone. I'm making some more for New Years so you can have one then.
