Use a fork to dip into the chocolate and allow to drip over cookies.Prepare the milk as dulce de leche for a different flavor. [South American METHOD: (warning: practiced for years, but now claimed to be dangerous. Hasn’t blown up on me yet.) Remove label from a can of sweetened condensed milk. Do not open can. Place entire can, unopened, in a small heavy pan. Cover unopened can completely with water. Put lid on saucepan. Bring to boil. Boil for 1 hour. Turn off heat. Remove lid. When water cools, carefully remove can with tongs. Allow can to cool before opening.] Prepare recipe as usual.MARSHMALLOW CARAMEL RICE KRISPIESFrom the kitchen of Marci Rainey
