Print Recipe

A tropical twist on classic Rice Krispy Treats, featuring toasted coconut, gooey marshmallows, and a creamy whipped topping for a pie-like finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 6 cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for whipped topping)
  • Optional garnish: extra toasted coconut or white chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add 6 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and half of the toasted coconut. Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Press the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan. Use a spatula or clean hands to flatten and compress the mixture into an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut evenly over the top of the bars.
  6. If using homemade whipped topping, whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped topping over the cooled Rice Krispy Treats.
  7. For a finishing touch, sprinkle extra toasted coconut or white chocolate shavings on top.
  8. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to set the whipped topping, then slice into bars and serve.

Notes

Toast the coconut for a nutty flavor, work quickly with the marshmallow mixture, and refrigerate before slicing for clean cuts. Experiment with garnishes like melted chocolate or crushed nuts.
