Description
Delicious and easy-to-make chocolate, coconut caramel krispy treats that are perfect for a sweet snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 cups mini marshmallows divided (almost 2 10 ounce bags)
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 11-ounce package caramels unwrapped, or caramel bits
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 2 cups coconut toasted and divided
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread coconut on a large baking sheet in an even layer. Toast in the oven, stirring at least once, until golden brown; about 7-8 minutes.
- Line a 13″x9″ casserole dish with parchment paper or foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Spray a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray and pour rice krispies cereal into the bowl. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large, 3 quart pot over medium heat. Add about 7 cups of marshmallows and the caramels. Stir often until completely melted and smooth; about 4-5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 cup of the toasted coconut.
- Pour marshmallow mixture over the cereal in the large bowl and add the remaining marshmallows. With a silicone spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, stir well until coated.
- Press the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and press into an even layer.
- Place the chocolate and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted and smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the rice krispie treats. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of toasted coconut.
- Cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Make sure to keep an eye on the coconut while it toasts to avoid burning.
- Use a silicone spatula to avoid sticking when mixing and pressing the ingredients.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
