Description
These Rice Krispie treats aren’t your basic marshmallow treats. They’re packed with coconut, white chocolate and pastel M&Ms to give them an extra festive flare.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups crisp rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 1 10-ounce bag large marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 1/3 cup shredded coconut (+ more for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
- 1 4-ounce bar white chocolate (I used Ghirardelli’s white chocolate), chopped (or 1/2 cup white chocolate chips)
- 1/2 cup pastel M&Ms
Instructions
Note: Measure all ingredients before you begin, as you will need to move very quickly once the Rice Krispies are added to the marshmallow mixture so it doesn’t set.
- Grease a 13 x 9-inch pan with butter or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Microwave butter and marshmallows on high for 1 – 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until everything is melted.
- Pour Rice Krispies into marshmallow and stir quickly. Add coconut and coconut extract and continue stirring.
- Add white chocolate and stir.
- Add M&Ms and stir.
- Using a buttered spatula, press Rice Krispie treats into pan and garnish with additional shredded coconut, if desired.
- Cool, slice and enjoy!
