Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 14 oz bag sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 (13.4 oz) can dulce de leche
- 6 oz semisweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
- In a large saute pan, pour the entire bag of shredded coconut and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until most of it is golden brown. Remove from heat and stir for another 2 minutes.
- Once the coconut is toasted, remove ½ cup and set aside.
- Heat the dulce de leche with 2 tablespoons of milk in a microwave-safe bowl for 1-1½ minutes to thin it out.
- Mix the dulce de leche mixture with the remaining toasted coconut.
- In another large microwavable bowl, melt the marshmallows and butter for about 2 minutes, then mix together.
- Pour in the Rice Krispie cereal and mix well.
- In a greased 8×12 inch pan, press half of the cereal mixture into the bottom, then spread the caramel coconut mixture over it. Press the remaining cereal mixture on top.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate and spread it over the top of the treat. Garnish with the reserved toasted coconut.
- Wait for the chocolate to harden before serving.
Notes
- Be careful not to burn the coconut while toasting it. Stir constantly and remove from heat once it turns golden.
- Spray your hands with cooking spray to make it easier to press the mixture into the pan without it sticking.
