Ingredients
Instructions
- Place caramels, margarine, and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If you prefer a bit of crunch, you can add chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips to the Rice Krispies mixture. Make sure to stir the caramel mixture continuously to prevent burning. If you have leftover caramel, it can be used for drizzling over Cut-It-Out Cookies or incorporated into other desserts.
