Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows Can substitute with regular marshmallows, chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut Plus extra for coating
  • 1/4 cup butter Melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter while stirring regularly to prevent burning.
  2. Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the crispy rice cereal and shredded coconut to the marshmallow mixture and fold together until well-coated.
  5. Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Press the mixture into the dish evenly, packing it tightly.
  6. Let the treats cool for about 15-20 minutes, then cut them into squares.
  7. Optional: Roll the squares in extra shredded coconut for garnish.

Notes

Store your Coconut Marshmallow Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If handling the mixture gets sticky, dampen your fingers or use cooking spray for easier handling.
