Recipe Notes
Great for other holidays like Christmas (using the red/white/green M&Ms), Halloween (using Reese's Pieces), Easter (using Pastel M&Ms). You can also add nuts if you like. Add or take away some of the white chips and M&Ms. It's a very versatile recipe that you can truly adjust to your liking.
While these are Valentine’s Day themed due to the fun pink, red and white M&M’s, you could switch it up for holidays like Christmas using the red/green M&M’s, Easter with the Pastel M&M’s or Halloween using Reese’s Pieces. This treat is so versatile and you can have lots of fun putting so many different goodies into it.
I would love to know if you try this recipe, how you liked it. Really, though, it’s tough to go wrong with coconut and chocolate!

Coconut and M&Ms my two favorites! These sound so good!
Delicious! It makes me wish my family liked coconut, then again I could totally make it and eat the whole dang thing myself!!
These are so pretty! They would be great for a VDay party!

Thanks so much for asking, I had no idea I missed that. I use 1 cup (added it to the recipe now) but you can adjust depending on your sweet tooth 🙂

These look great. I love coconut, but others in the house don’t. If I made these I may actually get a few.
I usually don’t do coconut (just beverages), but that looks really good!
You can NOT go wrong with a good magic bar recipe — love this variation with M&Ms.

Love this recipe! I am a huge coconut fan, been using it in a lot of recipes lately!
I made something similar to this the other day, minus the white chocolate, and it was good. Next time, I’ll add in some white chocolate to see how it’ll taste. Thanks!
I really like M&M’s and coconut so I’m sure I’d love these. Looks so yummy!
These sound so yummy and delicious. They are cute too with the pink and red M&M’s. I want some. …lol
Thank you for the recipe.
These are very similar to the classic 7 layer bars that I loved as a child. No nuts and M & Ms instead of chocolate chips is the basic difference as far as I can see. I love that the star is coconut, mmm!
These look soo good – I’d like to make these with 4th of July m&ms – if they have them – I’m checking asap when I go shopping! Perfect picnic dessert!
