We all know that you can never beat a classic Rice Krispy treat. But you can always get creative and add a little flair to it, maybe even a big flair. There are no rules. I felt like eating something with coconut and Rice Krispy treats are a favorite in my house, so why not combine the two and see how it goes.
I love the combination. I love them chunky and how they have that extra goo from adding the additional marshmallows after I pulled it from the heat. The coconut is sweet, but subtle. It kind of feels like an adult version of a classic Rice Krispy treat.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Line deep baking dish with parchment paper and coat the parchment paper with butter.
- In a large cooking pot combine unsalted butter and the 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows together, place on medium heat. Keep stirring the ingredients together until it has just melted, pull from heat. Immediately add the rice krispies, the additional mini marshmallows and the coconut to the melted marshmallow. Combine all ingredients together. Place the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently but firmly press it down into the baking dish. Even it out as much as possible on the top. Add the additional coconut on top. Let it sit for a few minutes before you cut into it.
Notes
You can dial back on the sweetness by decreasing the amount of coconut and marshmallows you add after you pull from the heat.
I used a baking dish with a lid.
