Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal Provides the base crunch. Gluten-free options are available.
  • 1 package (10 oz) Marshmallows Creates the gooey texture. Mini marshmallows can be used.
  • 3 tablespoons Butter Helps bind and adds flavor. Coconut oil can be used for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Enhances sweetness and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped pistachios Adds crunch and nutty flavor. Substitute with any preferred nut.
  • optional Green food coloring For visual appeal, especially for themes or holidays.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add in the marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted.
  3. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract and any food coloring, if using.
  4. Stir in the Rice Krispies and chopped pistachios until well-coated and sticky.
  5. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan to shape it.
  6. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Use a silicone spatula for easy mixing and cleanup. Allowing the treats to sit at room temperature for an extra hour will enhance the flavors. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an extra layer of flavor.
