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.

OMG yes!! I love coconut and i bet it is awesome with the marshmallows an chocolate! YUM!
These look amazing! Thanks for sharing.
I’m making a Lamington version of these this weekend! Once I make the treats, I’m going to dip the squares in chocolate and roll in toasted coconut. Yum! I might have to make these to compliment the others. I love chocolate and coconut.
Ooohhhh, I love coconut and rice crispy treats! And coconut M&M’s as well?! Yes, please!
Mmmmm a good rice krispie treat always hits the spot. Pinning this!

Just wanted 2 ask, could you make it with corn flakes or frosties etc because i am currently out of rice krispies.
Please reply 🙂
Love from a keen fan and baker 😉
Yes you can, but obviously it will taste different.
WOW! Those look tasty and sophisticated.
This recipe instantly transported me back to the nostalgia of childhood grocery trips with my family. The coconut M&Ms added a delightful twist to the classic rice crispy treats. I couldnt resist trying it out and it was absolutely delicious.
