Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag mini marshmallows (10 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (toasted if you’re feeling fancy!)
  • a pinch salt (because every sweet needs a little balance)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the mini marshmallows and continue stirring until melted and gooey.
  3. Remove the pot from heat and mix in the crispy rice cereal and shredded coconut until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and press down with a spatula or greased hands. Allow to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For a chocolate version, substitute coconut with chocolate chips. To prevent stickiness, spray hands with cooking spray for shaping. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
