Ingredients
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, divided
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Toast 1 cup of shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in coconut extract and salt (if using).
- Add crispy rice cereal and toasted coconut to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until evenly coated.
- Grease a 9×13-inch pan or line with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and press into an even layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of untoasted shredded coconut over the top and gently press it in.
- Let cool for 30-45 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best gooey texture.
- Do not press too hard when forming the bars to keep them soft and chewy.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Variations include drizzling with chocolate, adding dried fruit, or incorporating nuts.
