Delicious Samoa Rice Krispie Treats inspired by the popular Girl Scout cookie combine crispy rice cereal, gooey marshmallows, rich caramel, toasted coconut, and silky chocolate for a sweet, crunchy dessert bar everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies or alternative crisp rice cereal
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cups miniature marshmallows

Toppings

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1½ cups coconut flakes
  • ¾ cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add 5 cups of miniature marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
  2. Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, stirring gently to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
  3. Press into Pan: Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan well. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down firmly and evenly. Allow it to cool completely, then cut into 24 bars.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Place 3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips into a deep microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Dip in Chocolate: Dip the bottom one-third of each Rice Krispie treat bar into the melted chocolate. Place them upside down on parchment paper or a wire rack and let the chocolate dry completely.
  6. Caramel and Coconut Topping: In a small bowl, mix ¾ cup caramel sauce with 1½ cups coconut flakes until combined.
  7. Add Toppings and Drizzle: On the top of each treat, place a small spoonful of the caramel-coconut mixture. Drizzle with any remaining melted chocolate. Allow everything to set fully before serving.
  8. Serve Fresh: These treats are best enjoyed fresh on the same day for optimal texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use store-bought caramel sauce for convenience or homemade for better flavor.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure treats hold together well.
  • To toast coconut flakes, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer taste.
