Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- 14 ounces (396 grams) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 (13.4 ounces/380 grams) can dulce de leche
- 6 ounces (170 grams) semisweet chocolate, melted
Binding Ingredients:
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Toast coconut in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until golden brown. Remove from heat, allowing residual warmth to complete toasting process.
- Separate 1/2 cup of toasted coconut for later garnishing.
- Microwave dulce de leche with milk for approximately 1.5 minutes, creating a smoother consistency for mixing.
- Combine dulce de leche with remaining toasted coconut, creating a rich caramel-coconut blend.
- Melt marshmallows and butter in microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Fold Rice Krispies into marshmallow mixture, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Grease 8×12-inch pan and layer half the cereal mixture, pressing firmly to create an even base.
- Spread caramel-coconut mixture over first layer, then top with remaining cereal mixture, gently pressing to seal.
- Melt semisweet chocolate and drizzle evenly across the top of the dessert.
- Sprinkle reserved toasted coconut over melted chocolate for decorative finish.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow chocolate and layers to set completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Toast coconut carefully to prevent burning, stirring constantly and watching for golden-brown color without scorching edges.
- Use low microwave heat when melting marshmallows and chocolate to maintain smooth texture and prevent burning.
- Consider using dairy-free alternatives like coconut condensed milk and vegan marshmallows for plant-based dietary needs.
- Refrigerate bars briefly to help chocolate set faster and create cleaner cutting lines when serving.
