Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 40g Unsalted Butter
- 290g Marshmallows
- 200g Pistachio Cream
- 160g Rice Krispies Cereal
- 100g White Chocolate Chunks
Topping
- 50g Pistachios, unsalted, roughly chopped
- 50g Dark Chocolate, melted
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Incorporate White Chocolate: Fold in the white chocolate chunks into the coated cereal mixture to distribute creamy pockets of white chocolate throughout the treat.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
