Reviews
I found this had waaaaaay to much butter and not enough cornflakes. It ended up being really really greasy and it made the marshmallows the consistency of white school glue. I even added more cornflakes and it was still too greasy. Sorry 🙁
Noticed the when to add coconut was missing, assuming most add at the end.
I love this addictive square.The changes made to the proportions are: 1/2 C of butter, 400g bag of mini marshmallows & 4 1/2 C of corn flakes. I also lightly toasted the slivered almonds before adding. Yummo
I crushed the cornflakes slightly and used half a bag of small marshmallows. Still very buttery, but very good. Also put some chocolate chips on top after spreading the warm cookies in pan.
Sorry, the classic rice treat still prevails. Even reducing the marshmallow-to-flake proportion, it was still too gooey, with too many flavors going on. The cornflakes want to be crunchy, but weren’t. The almonds are, but the coconut not. Ingredients seemed to be working at cross purposes. The one good thing I’ll say is these are better than marshmallow treats made with Cap’n Crunch. Don’t ever, ever try that. It’s taken me years to get right with the Cap’n since I did.
Only had mini marshmallows, so eye balled the amount. Forgot to add vanilla and didn’t have any coconut. The kids and hubby still loved them
Really good and different! I used slivered almonds, because that’s what I had on hand and I intended to add mini chocolate chips and vanilla but forgot both. It is still really good. Chewy and crunchy at the same time.
This is very Delicious. I loved the coconut in it. When I make a batch, it is gone the same day.
I used 1/4 cup butter as well and added chocolate chips. YUMMY!
Delicious and easy to modify. Also a great way to use up leftover cornflakes and marshmallows. Yum!
this was great. I do have to agree though, I found that 3/4 cup was alot of butter. I did cut it back to 1/2 cup but still found that to be too much, my solution was to add more marshmallows. I had some toasted coconut marshmallows and that is what I used, I also toasted the almonds and coconut in a dry frypan until golden brown. Next time I want to add more almonds and coconut as i enjoyed that part alot but found that there was not enough of them in the slice
Okay- after reading review after review, I would have to say that these are pretty good, I did the 1/4 c butter and added Vanilla- but did anyone notice that they did not really say when to add the COCONUT- which in my opinion is a big part in this recipe, so I added it when the marshmallow was melted- speaking of which- I only had on hand miniature marshmallows so I just did a 4 to 1 ratio- and I think next time I will do 6 to 1. I didn’t have sliced almonds so I didnt use them. I used a square pan and they still seem pretty thin- no way will this fit on 9X13 or you will get a one cornflake layer. I did half plain and put it in the pan- then I added chocolate chips and put the remainder in the pan because my young son will not eat chocolate- strange but true. ENJOY!
I also only used about a 1/4 cup of butter for these and I added about a 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. I also omitted the almonds as I had none. Still pretty good though.
These were pretty good…I thought the butter would be alot so I used 1/4 a cup. I only had the miniature marshmallows so I kind of guessed how many to use. My kids enjoyed them and I couldnt stop eating them!
I made this today with Honey Nut O-shaped cereal and reduced the butter to about 1/2 cup. Turned out well!
I regularly have these ready as an after school snack for my bunch. I cut the butter to 1/4 cup and omit the nuts because of a nut allergy. I add 1/3 cup or so of flax seed for the added nutrition. Believe it or not the seeds are a great addition, and my picky eaters approve.
This is wonderful. I had some cornflakes to use up and I never would have thought of adding almonds or coconut. It turned out lovely. I used 1/2 cup of butter.
I made something similar in highschool, but with sugar instead of marshmellows. This is much nicer! I will definitely make this again (using only 1/4 cup of butter though).
Very easy to make and everyone just loved these bars.
A very nice tasting recipe. A little soggy even though I added extra cornflakes and cut the butter back to 1/4 cup. I threw in a handful of chopped marashino cherries that I had blotted dry and then finely diced.It looked very festive and tasted great.
My family and friends loved this. I did finely chop the almonds (better to hide the nuts!)and I added some almond extract with the final ingredients. For a variety I will omit the coconut once in a while-even though I love it. These remind me of a bar/square I used to get when I was little and my family would venture every few years into L.A.’s Chinatown. How I loved them (they didn’t have coconut), now I can make them at home!! Yum yum
