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.

COCONUT RUM RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Yield 12-16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of coconut
1/8 cup of dark rum
4 cups of mini marshmallows
6 cups of Rice Krispie cereal

Steps:

  • Start with the recipe on the box: melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pan over LOW heat (so the butter doesn't burn and become bitter to taste). After the butter melted, I added 1/2 cup of coconut and 1/8 cup of dark rum. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and heat to melted then remove from heat. Stir 6 cups of Rice Krispie cereal into the melted marshmallows. Drop into a greased 9×13 pan and smooth out with buttered spatula or buttered wax paper (so the treats don't stick to your hand while trying to get them smooth). Cool and enjoy!
