While looking for recipes to use my cans of almond paste, I was inspired by Uncle Bill's recipe (#148395). I modified it using the ingredients I had on hand. Ingredients:
5 cups rice krispies |
1 cup toasted coconut |
3/4 cup hershey milk chocolate filled with caramel baking pieces |
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine |
8 ounces almond paste |
4 cups mini marshmallows |
additional butter or margarine, for greasing pan |
Directions:
1. Butter 9x9-inch baking pan (bottom and sides) and set aside.
2. Put Rice Krispies, toasted coconut and Hersey's bits in a large bowl; stir to combine.
3. In a large non-stick pan, melt 6 oz butter over low heat. Add almond paste and marshmallows.
4. Continue to cook over low heat until all ingredients are melted and smooth (about 5 minutes).
5. Immediately pour over Rice Krispies mixture and stir to combine well.
6. Press into prepared pan (I just use my hand placed inside a baggie that I've sprayed with Pam).
7. Cool. Cut into squares.
