Ingredients

  • 1 cup (65g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 6 cups (170g) Rice Krispie cereal
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows (1 bag)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract

Instructions

  • Line a 9x9” baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • To toast your coconut: place coconut in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly for just a few minutes until coconut starts to brown. Be careful - it burns very quickly. Do NOT walk away from the stove. As soon as it starts to brown, remove it from the heat and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add your cereal to the same bowl with the coconut. Stir to combine.
  • Melt butter in a large pot or saucepan over medium heat. To make the brown butter, continue cooking, stirring often, over medium low heat for several minutes. The butter will foam and reduce and small brown flecks will appear in the bottom. Once it turns light golden it's done - don't leave it alone or it will burn fast once it starts to brown.
  • Add marshmallows and stir constantly until marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat and add coconut extract.
  • Either pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal or vice versa (depending on the size of your pan/bowl). Stir to combine. Press into prepared pan.
  • Let sit until set, about 1 hour.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container. Freeze between sheets of wax paper for up to a month.
