Mango and Sticky Rice Krispies- A comforting dessert combined with a classic childhood snack. Think rice krispies but with chewy dried mango and shredded coconut. It's buttery, chewy, a bit fruity and the perfect amount of sweetness.
Spray a 8x8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter. You can also use parchment paper and grease it too for easier cleanup.
In a large stainless-steel pot, melt the butter over low heat about 2 to 3 minutes later, add the salt and marshmallows. Save 1 cup of mini marshmallows to the side.
Lower the heat and stir until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Add in the chopped dried mango, toasted coconut and coconut powder.
Add the rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir. Add the remaining marshmallows and stir until everything is evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared pan and gently press into an even layer using a spatula or lightly greased fingers. Add some more dried mangoes to the top, along with toasted coconut and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
Don’t press too hard just enough to hold it together so the bars stay soft and chewy.
Let cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Cut into 9 squares and enjoy!
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
