Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 4 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup White chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the foil or parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to form a soft dough.

Step 5

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to smooth it into an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with minimal crumbs.

Step 7

Immediately after removing the pan from the oven, scatter the mini marshmallows evenly across the hot base. Return the pan to the oven for 2-3 minutes, just until the marshmallows are puffy but not browned.

Step 8

Sprinkle the sweetened shredded coconut evenly over the melted marshmallows, lightly pressing it down to ensure it adheres.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.

Step 11

Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled bars in a zigzag pattern using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 12

Once the chocolate has set (you can speed this up by placing the pan in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes), use the foil or parchment overhang to lift the entire block of bars out of the pan.

Step 13

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
