These Homemade Star Crunches are chewy, crunchy, and packed with caramel and chocolate. Just like the store-bought dessert - just better!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 c. caramel bits
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • c. milk
  • 10 oz. bag of mini marshmallows
  • 6 c. crispy rice cereal

Instructions
 

  • In a large saucepan, add the caramel bits, butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and milk, and stir on a low heat until melted. Mash the caramel bits with a wooden spoon to help it melt.
  • Stir until everything is melted and smooth, it should take about 5-10 minutes. Once melted add the mini marshmallows and stir until they are all melted and combined.
  • Remove from heat and add in the crispy rice cereal, stir until every bit of cereal is coated in the chocolate.
  • Line 2-3 trays with parchment paper. Scoop up a little more than ¼ cup and pour it onto the lined tray.
  • Grab a 1-cup measuring cup and spray the bottom with non-stick cooking spray. Lightly press down on the pile you just poured onto the tray to flatten it.
  • Continue until all the mixture is used up. (About 18 cookies)
  • Press all around the edges to smooth and round out the cookies.
  • Place in the fridge/ freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Take out the freezer and let sit for 5 minutes and serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Spray that measuring cup! It keeps the mixture from sticking when you press them down.
  • Don’t skip the chill. A quick trip to the fridge or freezer makes them set up faster and less sticky.
  • Want a sweeter twist? Swap semi-sweet chocolate for milk chocolate.
  • Use caramel bits. They melt quicker and make life easier!
