  • Melt marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Line a 9x9 or 9x13 pan with wax paper.*
  • Add coconut flakes to a spice grinder and grind for 10-15 seconds, until the flakes reach a powder-like consistency.
  • Once the marshmallows have melted, add 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal and the ground coconut flakes. Stir quickly and furiously until the Rice Krispie cereal is well coated.

Notes

*You can also add a spritz of a nonstick cooking spray if you want to hedge your bets that the treats won’t fight you when you’re ready to devour them.
