This was a really nice change of pace for rice pudding. The combination of marshmallows, cranberries and coconut added a sweetness that sugar alone would not have produced. I would definitely make this again though I think I’d leave out the pretzels (as I prefer a rice pudding without “crunch�, and maybe try brown sugar instead of regular granulated sugar, just to see if it paired better with the brown rice). But all in all, I thought this was a great contest entry.
