COCONUT RICE KRISPIE® TREATS



Coconut Rice Krispie® Treats image

A coconut twist in the classic school lunch treat! Perfect for kids and if you snag some for yourself too, we won't tell. One thing I love about these is how customizable they are. Lemon coconut? Chocolate coconut? Sure! You can do practically anything with add-ins. These are also good because unlike other recipes, they use condensed milk, which gives it a rich sweetness. It's safe to say these beat the store-bought ones!

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pinch salt
⅔ cup marshmallows
4 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)
½ cup coconut flakes, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Combine condensed milk, coconut milk, and butter in a medium pan over low heat. Stir until butter has melted and everything is fully incorporated. Stir in salt.
  • Increase heat to medium-low and add marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are fully melted into liquid and you have a thick, almost jelly-like consistency; it should stick together and come clean off the sides of the pan.
  • Increase heat to medium and melt the mixture a little bit more so it's a thinner liquid. Remove from the heat and stir in rice cereal and 1/2 cup coconut flakes, making sure all are evenly coated. Let sit and cool for 30 minutes.
  • Wearing plastic gloves, use your hands to roll mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Top with additional coconut flakes if desired.

Tips:

  • Before pouring the melted marshmallows over the rice cereal, make sure they are evenly distributed to avoid any clumps in the mixture.
  • Gently press the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a lightly greased spatula or your hands, to ensure it is evenly distributed and compact.
  • For a more indulgent treat, sprinkle additional chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruits on top of the rice cereal mixture before pressing it into the baking dish.
  • Allow the treats to cool completely before cutting them into bars, to prevent them from crumbling or falling apart.
  • For a neater and more uniform cut, use a sharp knife or a kitchen shears to cut the treats into bars.
  • Store the rice crispy treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These cocoa rice crispy treats with peanut butter topping are a delightful combination of classic flavors and textures. The crispy rice cereal, combined with the rich cocoa marshmallows and the creamy peanut butter topping, creates a sweet and satisfying treat that is perfect for any occasion.
