A quick and easy twist on classic Rice Krispies treats inspired by Samoas cookies, featuring gooey caramel, toasted coconut, and optional chocolate drizzle for a crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (about 150g) Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 10 oz (about 280g) regular or mini marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (about 80g) sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, melted (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes until golden brown, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter over low heat. Add 10 oz (280g) marshmallows and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir continuously until marshmallows are melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Quickly add 6 cups (150g) Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat all cereal, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Line a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly. Transfer mixture into pan and press evenly with buttered spatula or hands. Let cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  5. Cut cooled treats into squares or rectangles. Warm 1/2 cup (120ml) caramel sauce to drizzle consistency. Drizzle caramel over treats, then sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
  6. Optional: Melt 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate over caramel and coconut.
  7. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the top. Let drizzle set for about 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Toast coconut carefully to avoid burning. Melt marshmallows over low heat and stir constantly to prevent scorching. Work quickly when mixing cereal to keep treats light and airy. Use a fork or small spoon for thin caramel and chocolate drizzles. Sprinkle sea salt to balance sweetness. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions are possible.
