Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt ½ cup of butter and 2 cups of marshmallows, stirring frequently until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until well blended.
  3. Gradually sprinkle in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 2 cups of unsweetened coconut flakes into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute until smooth.
  4. Prepare a 13 x 9 x 1-inch baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly, then preheat your oven to 325°F and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once baked, let the bars cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
