These Tropical Rice Krispie Treats with Toasted Coconut, Pineapple and White Chocolate are a twist on the classic kid favorite treat!

Tropical Rice Krispie Treats with Toasted Coconut and Pineapple

Seriously friends, these treats! OMGee! These Tropical Rice Krispie Treats with Toasted Coconut, Pineapple and White Chocolate are the best thing that’s come out of my kitchen this week.

Tropical Rice Krispy Treats with Toasted Coconut and Pineapple

I usually plan my recipes and posts in advance, but when I made these the other day I knew I’d have to scrap what I originally had planned for today and share these instead! They’re that good! They absolutely need to make an appearance at your next summer party! And one piece of important advice…you do not, and I mean DO NOT want to make these when you are at home alone. Take it from me. BAD idea. You need to have someone to share these with, so you don’t eat the whole tray yourself!

Tropical Rice Krispy Treats with Toasted Coconut and Pineapple

This recipe is pretty much the standard Rice Krispy Treat recipe, but to make them tropical, I’ve added some toasted coconut, freeze dried pineapple and white chocolate. It’s an ah-mazing combo folks! The sweet freeze dried pineapple works perfectly in this recipe. I bought mine from Target’s wellness grocery brand, Simply Balanced. You’ll need one 1.75 ounce bag which equals about 1 1/2 cups. and you’ll need to finely grind it in your food processor. To make these treats even more decadent, I drizzled the top with a little extra melted white chocolate. You can never go wrong with extra chocolate!

So get ready to be whisked away to the tropics with your first bite guys! Hope you enjoy! Have a fabulous weekend all!

  • 1 10 oz. bag marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Butter a 9x13 pan and set aside.
  3. Spread flaked coconut onto a baking sheet and bake for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, tossing midway. Watch carefully so coconut does not burn. Remove from oven and set aside.
  4. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted. Cook for 2 minutes then remove from heat.
  5. Add the sugar, vanilla and salt. Mix until well combined. Gently fold in coconut, cereal, chopped white chocolate and finely ground pineapple and stir until well coated.
  6. Press mixture evenly into prepared pan. Let cool, then cut into squares.
  7. White Chocolate Drizzle: Melt chocolate and shortening in microwave safe bowl at 50 percent power in 20 second intervals until melted and smooth. Drizzle over cooled treats.

    I love a new twist on the Rice Krispie Treat! They are such a perfect blank canvas for so many different flavor combinations. I have never seen this twist and it sounds like a perfect treat for a summer cookout. Have a great weekend Maryann!

      I agree! I saw one on Pinterest a few days ago that prompted me to create my own tasty treat! Thank God for family and neighbors or I would have eaten that whole dang tray myself! You have a wonderful weekend too Karen!

    OMGeeee is totally right, Mary Ann! Plain, classic rice krispies just got a major upgrade! These are simply fabulous! LOVE the tropical take with pineapple and coconut, and white chocolate added to any party makes me happy! I can just imagine how dangerously delicious these little squares are! Most definitely going to heed your advice and not make these alone! ;) Pinned! Cheers, friend!

    Oh Mary Ann! I love these – and I’m more than ok with you postponing your other recipe to share these! Rice Krispie Treats are totally a weakness of mine, so I would definitely not be trusted with the entire pan alone. Love the sweet additions you added in – I can only imagine how good the coconut, pineapple and chocolate taste in these! YUM. Great treat for the weekend!

    You’ve taken a kid treat to an adult level! I will heed your warning about not making these when you are home alone! I would truly have to hide all the evidence because I think they would be gone lickity split!

    I think I DO need to make them when there is nobody home ’cause I’m not gonna wanna share ;) Seriously, though, these look amaaaazing, Mary Ann! Way to kick it up a notch (or, like 10) with taking a delicious classic and making it even better. I loves me some coconut and then throw in pineapple and white chocolate…over the top and I LOVE it! Pinned, of course. Can’t wait to try! Have a great week, friend :)
