With all the chaos that is the Christmas season, we do try to sneak in a yummy recipe or two, for your own family enjoyment or to serve as snacks for entertaining.
So, it only makes sense that simple desserts and goodies are most welcome this time of year. I don’t have time for complicated recipes when everything else in December is complicated to the extreme. But, with the chaos of life, deserves the most delicious in treats.
Here is my favourite quick and easy recipe, so delicious they may not last long in fact! Caramel Marshmallow Rice Krispie Balls is what we call them, for lack of a better catchy name.
Goo Balls are marshmallows inside a creamy toffee/caramel mixture with a puffed cereal coating.
Simply put, it’s one of the best things out there. Ever.
I like to freeze these, and take out randomly through the holiday season. Not only are they better on the cold side, versus room temperature, but they keep quite a while in an airtight container.
Just make sure to put freeze them on a cookie sheet before freezing in a container or they’ll just all stick together.
So, you must try this and see why we rave. Happy holidays!
The marshmallow and toffee mixture is like heaven, I know you just can’t eat one!
Goo Balls
Ingredients
- 5 Toffee Bars or 3 bags of toffee candies
- 1 Cup Butter
- 1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- puffed cereal
- 1 box of large marshmallows
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, melt first 3 ingredients to a fairly thick sauce. Keep stirring though, so they don’t burn to the pan!
- Dip a marshmallow into the sauce and let excess drip off {use a fondue fork to keep your fingers clean, it’s much easier}.
- Roll the marshmallow in puffed rice cereal and lay on wax paper until it hardens.
- Repeat with all marshmallows until the sauce is gone.
- One hardened, they are best kept in the fridge or frozen, until you are ready to eat.
Interesting!! My go-to is spoonfuls of peanut butter rolled in honey and Rice Krispies… this is an awesome alternative!
Thanks – this looks worth a try!

I make these every year and they are a definite favorite. So easy and so delicious…
I have made them, and we freeze the marshmallows before we dip them, then they don’t start to melt when you did them!!
