Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 10 oz Mini Marshmallows Essential for the classic Rice Krispie treat texture.
  • ¼ cup Butter Opt for unsalted for better control over flavor.
  • 6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal Provides the perfect crunch.
For the Coconut Layer
  • 2 cups Sweetened Shredded Coconut Toasted for enhanced flavor.
  • 1 cup Dulce de Leche Can substitute with caramel sauce.
For the Final Touch
  • 2 tbsp Milk Whole milk is recommended for added creaminess.
  • 8 oz Semisweet Chocolate Rich topping for the treats.

Equipment

  • large sauté pan
  • microwave-safe bowl
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • 8x12 inch pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Toast the sweetened shredded coconut in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Set aside ½ cup for garnishing.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dulce de leche with 2 tablespoons of milk. Heat in microwave for about 1.5 minutes, stirring halfway through until warm.
  3. Pour the warmed dulce de leche mixture over the remaining toasted coconut in a mixing bowl. Stir well until evenly coated.
  4. In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the mini marshmallows and butter. Microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Once smooth, gently fold in the Rice Krispie cereal until well-coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  6. Grease an 8x12 inch pan. Press half of the rice cereal mixture into the bottom as the base layer. Spread the caramel coconut mixture evenly over it, then top with the remaining cereal mixture.
  7. Melt the semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour over the top layer of treats and sprinkle with reserved toasted coconut.

Notes

These treats can be customized by swapping the dulce de leche for homemade caramel or adding favorite nuts. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature.
