Have you ever tried them with m&m's candy in them, my sister made them that way when her kids were young now she makes them for her gks.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I've seen them with M&Ms. Does the hot marshmellow not melt them?

[sweetnell3]

No I think it is because of the hard candy shell on them.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Is that because they melt in your mouth and not in your hand? :D LOL Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I like to add peanut butter into the recipe. Ummmm, chocolate AND peanut butter, just might have to try them that way! Thanks for the chocolate idea!

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I think I would skip the peanut butter as I am not a peanut butter fan. I know I am weird! LOL

Have you tried making them with Krafts toasted coconut marshmallows?

No. Where can I buy toasted coconut? I've never seen it.

[sweetnell3]

These are marhmallows made with the toasted coconut on them ,they are made by Kraft company. I was raised on them as my grandmother loved to eat them. I bought mine at Wal-mart.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

My misunderstanding. I thought you could buy just the toasted coconut! I LOVE toasted coconut. But, I didn't know there was toasted coconut marshmellows either.

[sweetnell3]

You mght be able to toast coconut in the oven and just add it to the krispie mixture when you make it.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Thanks! You've definately given me some ideas! Tonight or tomorrow I am going to plan out my menus, including snacks and drinks for when we leave to go camping on Tuesday!

[sweetnell3]

Glad to be able to help, I got the toasted coconut krispie treat recipe from the coconut marshmallow bag .

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Good to know. When I go shopping (definately when I have help with the GKs. LOL) I will look for it.

My husband doesnt like p-nut butter in most things either. If he does eat it, it would be my natural pb on celery.

[DeBora4BobbyL]

I'm glad I'm not the only one! LOL

[cat lover]

Peanut Butter is GOOOOOD on celery! Don't know why, but I've been on a real peanut butter kick lately. Good thing I'm too old to suspect PG! LOL

I've even been known to eat a spoonful of it lately! LOL

[DeBora4BobbyL]

Cat lover, all I can say is, "Ewwww." :D You sound like my FIL. He likes PB on his ice cream, all by itself, and on everything else! LOL Of course, we excuse him because he is from LA! ;)

I was in the grocery today and looked at some peanut butter. They had three kinds I have not seen before; I only remember two though. One was peanut butter with white chocolate and the other was peanut butter with dark chocolate. Do you think you might like those? LOL;)

[DeBora4BobbyL]

It HAS been a long time since I bought PB! I will have to see these PBs with white chocolate and dark chocolate. I get stuff like that for my GKs. However, I still won't like it. I won't even eat those Reese's PB Cups. LOL I know, I am strange! LOL
