Coconut Rice Crispy Treats

The Story:

I loved to go to the grocery store when I was younger.  It would just be me and my father, we’d each get a 25 cent soda (usually grape) and we would roam the store.  He would always sneak a chocolate covered nut and I could never pass by the coconuts without giving them a good shake to hear the milk slosh around.
