Easy to prepare and perfect for parties or a fun treat, these bars offer a unique pistachio-infused marshmallow coating that adds an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 9 cups (237g) Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 15 ounces (424g) mini marshmallows
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) box pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon (15ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch pan with foil or parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the treats once set.
  2. Measure Cereal: Measure out 9 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and place them in a large mixing bowl, ready for coating with the marshmallow mixture.
  3. Melt Butter: In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter carefully to avoid browning or burning.
  4. Combine Marshmallows and Flavorings: Add the 15 ounces of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth. Remove the pot from heat, then immediately stir in the pistachio pudding mix and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  5. Mix in Cereal: Pour the marshmallow-pistachio mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in the bowl and gently stir to coat all the cereal evenly without crushing it.
  6. Press Into Pan: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into the prepared pan and press firmly to compact the treats. Spray wax paper with nonstick spray and use it to help press down without sticking to your hands.
  7. Set and Slice: Allow the mixture to cool and set until firm, which should take about 30 minutes at room temperature. Once set, slice into bars.
  8. Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. For longer storage, let the treats cool completely, then individually wrap each bar in wax paper and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of Rice Krispies cereal to customize the taste.
  • Any size of marshmallows can be used as long as the total weight is 15 ounces.
  • These treats stay extra gooey but will become stale if not stored properly.
  • Use only fresh marshmallows and fresh, not stale, cereal for best results and texture.
