Grocery List
  • 14 oz. coconut flakes (sweetened)
  • 5 T. butter
  • 16 oz. mini marshmallows + 1 additional cup
  • 7 c. crisp rice cereal
  • 1 can dulce de Leche
  • 1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ T. coconut oil
Here's how...
  1. Begin by toasting an entire bag of sweetened coconut flakes (see post for instructions).
  2. Divide the toasted coconut in half and to one half add a can of dulce de Leche (can be found by the sweetened condensed milk in the grocery store) and store to combine.
  3. Set both the caramel/coconut and toasted coconut aside.
  4. In a pot, add 5 T butter over medium heat and melt. Add in one 16 oz. bag of mini marshmallows and stir to melt. Quickly add in 7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Add in 1 additional cup of mini marshmallows.
  5. Butter a 9x13" dish and layer half of the cereal with marshmallows to the dish, pressing lightly. Cover with the caramel coconut. Add the rest of the marshmallow/cerel mixture over the top and press down to flatten.
  6. Melt 1 c. of chocolate chips with ½ T. coconut oil for 30 seconds. Stir. If fully melted, stop here. If not, add 30 more seconds and stir. Drizzle this over the top of the treats and then garnish with the additional toasted coconut.
  7. Let set for at least a half hour in a cool place.
