A most interesting recipe that was published in our local newspaper. Thought that you just may enjoy it like we did. Ingredients:
6 cups rice krispies, lightly toasted |
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut |
1/4 cup chopped almonds |
4 tablespoons butter, plus |
extra butter, for greasing dish and spoon |
1 (8 ounce) box almond paste, grated |
1 (10 1/2 ounce) bag mini marshmallows |
Directions:
1. Butter a 9 x 9 baking pan or casserole dish.
2. In a large bowl, measure rice krispy cereal and set aside.
3. In a large non-stick frying pan, add coconut flakes and almonds and dry roast over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the coconut and almonds start to turn golden; about 4 minutes.
4. Immediately pour into the bowl with the cereal and mix well.
5. In the same frying pan melt butter over low heat.
6. Add the grated almond paste and marshmallows.
7. Cook over low heat until all ingredients are melted and smooth; about 5 minutes.
8. Immediately pour almond-marsmallow mixture into the bowl of cereal.
9. Butter a large spoon and mix contents thoroughly until well incorporated.
10. Press krispy treat mixture into the buttered dish.
11. Cool until firm enough to cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.
