Description

These Samoa Rice Treats are your tropical escape in snack form, chewy, chocolaty, and loaded with coconut and caramel flavors that mimic the beloved cookie classic. A perfect make-ahead dessert for gatherings or sweet moments at home!

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup caramel candies
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and caramel candies together while stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully mixed.
Add the shredded coconut and Rice Krispies cereal, folding gently to coat everything evenly.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish and press it down firmly to form an even layer.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate over the top of the pressed mixture using a spatula.
Let the treats cool completely at room temperature, then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For extra texture and flavor, try mixing in chopped nuts or dried fruit. Swap butter with coconut oil for more coconut essence. These keep well in an airtight container for up to a week—though they likely won’t last that long!
