Instructions

1. Toast the coconut flakes in a 325°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes until golden, stirring halfway through.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, caramel bits, and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.

3. Place Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl. Pour in the melted chocolate-caramel mixture and gently stir to coat.

4. Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top bag. Add powdered sugar and most of the toasted coconut, seal, and shake to coat.

5. Spread the mix onto a baking sheet to cool completely. Sprinkle with the remaining coconut before serving.

Notes

Make sure your coconut is fully cooled before mixing for optimal texture.

Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.

Microwave the caramel and chocolate slowly to avoid scorching.
