Pistachio and White Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats Recipe

Introduction

These Pistachio and White Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats offer a delicious twist on the classic snack. With creamy pistachio, sweet marshmallows, and crunchy nuts, they’re perfect for a quick dessert or an indulgent treat any time.

Ingredients

• 40g Unsalted Butter
• 290g Marshmallows
• 200g Pistachio Cream
• 160g Rice Krispies Cereal
• 100g White Chocolate Chunks
• 50g Pistachios, unsalted, roughly chopped
• 50g Dark Chocolate, melted

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line an 8″ square tin with parchment paper and set aside. Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl and set aside. In a large saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter with the marshmallows, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
2. Step 2: Stir the pistachio cream into the melted marshmallow mixture, mixing until well combined. Pour this mixture over the Rice Krispies and stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
3. Step 3: Fold the white chocolate chunks into the coated cereal mixture. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, pressing down firmly with a spatula so the treats are evenly packed and reach the edges. Smooth the top surface.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the top. Drizzle with the melted dark chocolate. Allow the chocolate to set completely before using a sharp knife to cut the treats into squares. Serve and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, toast the pistachios lightly before chopping and adding on top.
• You can swap white chocolate chunks for milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
• If you prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the marshmallows slightly or opt for dark chocolate chips within the mix.

Storage

Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to a week. If chilled, let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. These treats do not require reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I substitute the pistachio cream with another nut butter?

Yes, you can use almond or hazelnut butter as alternatives, but it will change the flavor. Pistachio cream has a unique sweetness and texture that complements the white chocolate best.

What is the best way to cut Rice Krispies treats cleanly?

Use a sharp, slightly warmed knife to cut the treats. Wiping the knife clean between cuts helps create neat edges without sticking.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square tin with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and set aside. Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl and keep ready.
2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter with the marshmallows, stirring continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the butter to create a smooth mixture.
3. Add Pistachio Cream: Stir in the pistachio cream thoroughly until the mixture is evenly melted through, adding a rich, nutty flavor to the marshmallow base.
4. Combine with Cereal: Pour the warm pistachio marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in the bowl and stir well to coat every piece of cereal completely.
5. Incorporate White Chocolate: Fold in the white chocolate chunks into the coated cereal mixture to distribute creamy pockets of white chocolate throughout the treat.
6. Press into Tin: Spoon the mixture carefully into the prepared tin and use a spatula to press the treats firmly and evenly into the edges and bottom, smoothing the surface for an even finish.
7. Add Toppings: Scatter the chopped pistachios evenly over the surface, then drizzle the melted dark chocolate on top to add a contrasting rich flavor and decorative finish.
8. Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature until firm. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the treats into squares and serve.

Notes

• For easier cutting, refrigerate the treats for 30 minutes after setting to firm up the chocolate and marshmallow mixture.
• Use parchment paper to easily lift the treats out of the tin without sticking.
• For a deeper pistachio flavor, consider lightly toasting the pistachios before chopping and adding as topping.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
