Caramel popcorn combined with melted marshmallows, coconut, and chocolate chips, pressed into a pan for an easy, crowd-pleasing treat.
Hi friends — Mallory from Chocolate with Grace here. With Thanksgiving approaching, many of us are planning holiday menus and looking for simple recipes that don’t demand hours in the kitchen. These Chocolate Coconut Caramel Popcorn Bars are a fast, festive option that delivers big flavor with minimal effort.
Think of these bars like a rice krispie treat in spirit: caramel popcorn is folded into a mixture of melted butter and marshmallows, then combined with sweetened flaked coconut and mini chocolate chips. The mixture is pressed into a greased pan to set — no baking required. If you don’t want to make caramel popcorn from scratch, store-bought caramel popcorn works fine. If you do want a quick homemade version, try a simple microwave salted caramel popcorn recipe.
Full disclosure: I had a hard time waiting for these to cool. They’re irresistible warm and gooey, with melty chocolate and chewy coconut. If you can resist the temptation to eat them right away, they also make lovely gifts for neighbors or a welcome addition to holiday treat trays.
Chocolate Coconut Caramel Popcorn Bars
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 10 oz package marshmallows, (about 4 cups miniature marshmallows)

- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and set aside.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the marshmallows until fully melted and smooth.
-
Remove the pan from heat, then fold in the caramel popcorn and coconut until the popcorn is well coated.
