I love these, so fun to make with the family! We only used about half the caramel sauce, so I saved the extra and used it as a fun fondue the next night! Delicious!

Yum! Always had these at Christmas growing up. They are better made with Mackintosh toffee (3 bars) and it should be 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup condensed milk for that amount. They taste even better straight from the freezer!

I've made this every year for the past 3 years and it's always a hit. I bought some cute toothpicks to dip them into the caramel sauce with; that way you don't have to get the marshmallow off the fork.

My mother-in-law hires a lady every Christmas to make her Christmas 'cookies'. I have been looking for this exact recipe for forever (since the lady wont give it to me!) Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe. Its some work but worth it. You make enough caramel to use almost 2 bags of marshmallows. These also freeze well. Thanks again for a wonderful recipe!

I did use real butter, not margarine. They are a little messy to make, but so worth the effort! Really sweet, but so tasty. My mom used to make these when I was little, and never had the recipe until now. Thanks so much!!

I was worried that these would be a pain to make (and clean up after), but they were surprisingly easy and not messy. I used the assembly line method. I used the toasted coconut marshmallows and cut them in half. It looked like they were too small, but the caramel and rice crispies add a lot - they still turned out being only slightly smaller than a golf ball. I kept the marshmallows in the freezer, pulling them out in batches because they thawed fast.

Fruger, thank you. I didn't have to freeze marshmallows. I made 2 10 ounce bags. With enough carmel mixture left to add to the left over rice cereal. The boys took care of that part! I made this exactly as you submitted. I thought the tongs worked very well. Hardly any mess to it. Just what my packages needed!!

I was so tired of cookies that this was a great recipe to stumble upon. I used real butter and mixed rice crispy cereal (1/2 chocolate and 1/2 regular). I also did the assembly line right at the stove and kept the butter, caramel, milk mixture on a low warm while I worked on a double batch. We used metal meat kabob sticks and they were the perfect length for easy dipping and rolling. The kids loved helping with this one.

My Grandmother made these for years every Christmas and it was a family favorite. She called them "Haystacks" though. While it certainly can be messy, there are tricks which other reviewers have offered which work well. I've used skewers, toothpics and the tongs and they've all worked relatively well. The outcome is what everyone enjoys the most.. I don't think the sticky process of making them takes away from the popularity and quality of these treats.

These are good, except they were kind of messy when I was making them. I'll try again. Also, had to reheat the caramel mixture, because it was starting to get hard to dip the marshmallows. Maybe I was just slow at dipping. :)

These were awesome!! Fabulous for S'mores! I used the tip from a previous reviewer, and froze the marshmallows before dipping. I admit, I rolled them in Cocoa Krispies because I'm a chocoholic. I bet these would be good for a kids' party with something colorful like Fruity Pebbles... Next time I plan to try toasted coconut. Yum!!

Very yummy recipe. This was pretty easy to do, but I had to get into the groove. The first few made a mess, but then I decided to do the toothpick idea and that worked out well! All I had was Rice Chex, so I put some in a big baggie and mashed them up a bit and dipped the coated marshmellows in that. Oh boy were they delicious! I also dipped some in chopped pecans. I think next time I'll throw some toasted coconut into my Chex. I also froze the marshmallows to make the dipping easier. After dipping ALOT, I decided to throw the remainder of the marshmallows into the caramel, stir, and add a bunch of the Chex cereal I hadn't crushed up. Just like rice crispy treats, I stirred this all up and pressed into a buttered pan. These are a big hit too!

These are so delicious and addictive they are dangerous! The caramel is awesome and would be good as an ice cream topping if you thinned it with a little milk or cream.

I thought these were really good. I agree that dipping the marshmallows got a little tiring, maybe I wasn't motivated. I only did about half a package, but everyone loved them.

These are fabulous! This is the first time I made them, next time, I will cut the marshmallows in half as they are quite large when rolled in rice cereal - I will also try partially freezing them. Rolling in nuts & maybe toasted coconut! Easy, I used 2 wood scewers and it was simple!
