If I were forced to choose the tastiest food combination ever–one more flavorful than apples + cinnamon, one more tempting than chocolate + caramel, and one more lip-smacking than peanut butter + jelly… it would have to be coconut + chocolate!
FATE: The reason why these Healthy Coconut Krispy Treats came to be.
Coconut and Dark Chocolate — you can’t go wrong with that combination, now can you? No, you can’t.
These Healthy Coconut Krispy Treats tasted very similar to the real Rice Krispy Treats… I don’t know why or how… like, mysteriously similar. I don’t know how to explain it, but it definitely has something to do with the coconut butter. And it’s amazing. It tasted like real marshmallows were hiding somewhere!
My father said that this was the best thing he’s ever eaten, and he is a serious foodie! My whole family loved it. I should make it for my dorm roomies when school starts 🙂
These reminded me of my childhood where — along with chocolate — I was totally obsessed with Rice Krispy Treats. In the first bite, you get a soft, yet crunchy, bar. Sweet and delicious. Your tastebuds sense hints of marshmallow, but in a few seconds they will realize that it is coconut. As you continue to chew, you taste the rich, chocolate flavor from the glaze. Soon, the treat is no more and you grab another one.
Oops! I took a picture of an empty plate.
Oh yeah. They went fast.
