Coconut Treats Recipes

Steps:

• Set the oven at 350 F, and prepare a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
• Melt the butter before adding the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour and mix well again before adding the grated coconut and flavoring of choice.
• Hand roll about 28 little balls individually which you place 2" apart on the lines cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes in the upper half of the oven. It is important that the cookies do not over bake, or they will turn out too crumbly and dry. Even though they may seem soft when you take them out, they will harden as they cool down.

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Grease the foil with butter.
• Melt the butter in a large pot set over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until the marshmallows melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal, pretzels and coconut and stir with a rubber spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and pat it into an even layer (use the bottom of a measuring cup to help). Let it sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a small microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the bars; cover and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes.
• Cut into 24 bars. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. In a small bowl, mix the first 5 ingredients; stir in melted butter. Press onto bottom of a greased 13x9-in. baking pan., In another bowl, mix filling ingredients; pour over crust. Bake until edges are lightly browned, 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 1 hour. Refrigerate, covered, 4 hours before cutting. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a pan add the condensed milk, 100g of coconut flakes and the butter. Now the fun begins! Over medium heat start stirring. And keep stirring until the mixture thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan for a good few seconds before the mixture levels out again. This is really important. This process should take at least 6-7 min, don't rush it or it won't be the right consistency to roll into balls.
• Leave it to cool, about 15min or enough so that it is cool to handle and it has hardened up a little.
• Grab the flakes you had reserved for rolling. You can do 2 things here: 1) Use them as they are to roll or 2) Blitz them so that they are super fine. I blitzed them as I like the outside texture to be soft. But it is totally up to you if you decide to do this.
• Coat your hands in a little butter (just so that the mixture doesn't stick) and start making your balls. I like mine the size of a little smaller than a measuring tablespoon. Once all rolled out put one clove in the midle for decoration. This is traditional and for decoration. Remove it before eating and it does leave a nice taste.

Steps:

• Mix the grated coconut with the gelatin in a big bowl until the coconut looks red.
• Put the mix in the blender/processor and blend a little, do not mix too much that you end up with pulverized coconut; you still want to end up with coconut that has long strands.
• Add the walnuts; they should be finely chopped so that they mix well with the coconut.
• Add condensed milk and mix thoroughly.
• Using the mix, make little balls with your hands, it will be a little sticky but easy to handle.
• The size can change but they shouldn't be too big.
• Put the red-colored sugar in a small plate and roll each treat on it until completely covered with sugar.
• Place them in the small baking cups (liners).
• Let them cool down in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Keep the treats always refrigerated until you serve them. They can also be kept at room temperature.

Steps:

• Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 sec.
• Add cereal and 1 cup coconut; mix well.
• Press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray. Top with remaining coconut; press lightly into cereal mixture to secure. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
