01
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk, coconut milk, and butter. Warm everything over low heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add a pinch of salt and give it a quick stir.
02
Step 2
Turn the heat up to medium-low and toss in the marshmallows. Keep stirring until they melt completely and the mixture thickens to a jelly-like texture that pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan.

Step 3
Next, raise the heat to medium and let the mixture melt a bit more so it becomes thinner and easier to work with. Take the pan off the heat, then stir in the rice cereal and half a cup of coconut flakes, making sure everything is well coated.

Step 4
Set the mixture aside to cool for about 30 minutes. Once it’s cool enough to handle, put on some plastic gloves and roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about an inch across. If you like, sprinkle a few extra coconut flakes on top for a finishing touch.
Why you’ll love it
These treats bring a tropical twist to a classic favorite. The coconut flavor adds a sweet, nutty aroma that pairs perfectly with the crispy texture. They are easy to make and great for a quick snack or party dessert.
How to serve
Serve these treats plain or sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch. They also pair well with a cup of hot tea or coffee. Cut into small squares for easy sharing at gatherings.
Storage & leftovers
Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them soft and chewy. They stay fresh for up to three days. Avoid refrigerating, as this can make them hard.
