Tips:

  • Use fresh marshmallows for the best results. Fresh marshmallows will melt smoothly and evenly, while older marshmallows may be more difficult to melt and may not hold their shape as well.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel. Overcooked caramel will be too hard and brittle, and it will not taste as good. To prevent overcooking, cook the caramel over medium heat and stir it constantly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the caramel is done. To do this, drop a small amount of caramel into a bowl of cold water. If the caramel forms a hard ball, it is done.
  • Work quickly when shaping the Krispy balls. The caramel will start to harden as it cools, so you need to work quickly to get the balls shaped before the caramel hardens completely.
  • If you have trouble shaping the Krispy balls, you can use a small cookie scoop to help you. The cookie scoop will make it easier to get the balls evenly shaped.
  • Roll the Krispy balls in sprinkles or chopped nuts before the caramel hardens completely. This will add extra flavor and texture to the balls.

Conclusion:

Caramel Marshmallow Krispy Balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, chewy, and sweet, with a gooey caramel center. These balls are sure to be a hit with people of all ages.
