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?
