For the Treats
  • 1 package Coconut Marshmallows May substitute with regular marshmallows.
  • 3 tablespoons Butter Use unsalted for better control of saltiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract Vanilla extract works in a pinch if unavailable.
  • 6 cups Rice Cereal No direct substitutes.
  • 1 cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes Use unsweetened coconut to adjust sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Almond Slivers Chopped pecans or walnuts can be used as alternatives.
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chip Morsels Semi-sweet or milk chocolate can also be used.
For the Drizzle
  • 1 cup Melted Dark Chocolate Consider using a blend of dark and milk chocolate.

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking pan

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the coconut marshmallows and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir to combine. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  2. Add in the almond extract to the melted mixture and stir thoroughly to ensure even incorporation.
  3. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies in a large bowl. Gently fold until well-coated. Add sweetened coconut, almond slivers, and dark chocolate chips.
  4. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and transfer the mixture into it, pressing down gently to compact.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining coconut flakes over the top and drizzle melted dark chocolate over it.
  6. Allow to cool completely at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. Cut into squares or bars and serve.
