Coconut Rice Krispie Treats are perfect for coconut-crazy confectionistas. Coconut is added THREE ways, guaranteeing every bite is crisp coconut perfection.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to a large stovetop pot over medium-low heat.
Once melted, add 1 teaspoon coconut extract and the marshmallows. Stir.
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.
Pour the Coconut Rice Krispie Treats into the pan, pushing down with a rubber scraper until they are uniform in height across the pan. Let cool.
Once cooled off and set, remove the Coconut Rice Krispie Treats from the pan by pulling up on the sides of the wax paper.
Set on a cutting board and cut into desired sizes.
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.
