Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 box 12.8 oz. Chocolate Chex
  • 7 regular size 1.84 oz Milky Way candy bars, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 20 caramels unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons cream
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Spread the coconut in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Toast until golden, 8-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely. Set aside 1/2 cup of the toasted coconut.
  • Place the Chocolate Chex in a large mixing bowl. Toss with 2 cups of the toasted coconut.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and Milky Way Candy bars, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  • Pour the melted Milky Way mixture over the Chocolate Chex and coconut, stirring gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
  • Place 1/2 of the powdered sugar (3/4 cup) in a large, zip-top bag. Add in half of the chocolate coated cereal. Shake well to coat in powdered sugar.
  • Spread the cereal mixture onto a large, parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat the process with the other 1/2 of the powdered sugar and cereal mixture.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, heat the caramels and cream at 50% power for one minute. Stir and return to the microwave at 50% power at 30 second intervals until caramels are melted and smooth. Drizzle caramel over the cereal mixture. Sprinkle the reserved coconut on top.
  • In another microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips at 50% power until smooth. Drizzle over the cereal mixture.
  • Cool until chocolate and caramel are set. Store in an airtight container.
