Instructions

• Toast the coconut: place the entire 7-ounce bag of shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium‑high heat. Stir constantly until the coconut is lightly golden and fragrant (watch closely — it burns quickly). Immediately transfer the coconut to a plate to cool completely.
• Prepare the pan: coat an 8x8-inch square pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang for easy removal, then spray the parchment lightly. Set the pan aside.
• Brown the butter: in a large saucepan over medium‑low heat, melt 1 stick + 2 tablespoons salted butter. Stir almost constantly as it melts, foams, and then the milk solids begin to turn golden and smell nutty. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom as you stir. As soon as the butter reaches a golden‑brown color, remove the pan from the heat.
• Melt the marshmallows: add the entire 10-ounce bag of marshmallows to the browned butter. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. If needed, return the pan to very low heat for a few seconds while stirring, but avoid overheating or burning.
• Add cereal and coconut: remove the pan from heat and immediately pour in 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal and the cooled toasted coconut. Stir quickly and thoroughly until the cereal and coconut are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
• Transfer to the pan: quickly scrape the mixture into the prepared 8x8 pan. Using a buttered spatula or lightly buttered hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, pushing into the edges and corners.
• Cool and remove: let the pan sit at room temperature until the treats are set and cool to the touch. Use the parchment overhang to lift the slab from the pan.
• Cut into squares: transfer the slab to a cutting board and cut into squares of your desired size.
• Drizzle with Nutella: place 1/4 cup Nutella in a small microwave‑safe bowl and warm in short intervals (about 10–15 seconds), stirring between intervals, just until it becomes pourable. Transfer the warmed Nutella to a small zip‑top bag and snip a tiny corner, or use a spoon, then drizzle the Nutella over each square.
