Description

These Pistachio Rice Krispie Treats with Dark Chocolate combine the classic crispy marshmallow treat with a luscious pistachio pudding twist and a rich dark chocolate drizzle. Perfectly sweet and nutty, they’re easy to make and sure to delight anyone who loves a fun and flavorful twist on a nostalgic favorite.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 16 ounce bag mini marshmallows, divided
  • 3.5 ounce box instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ½ cup dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add all but 1 cup of the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Remove the pot from heat to prevent burning.
  2. Add Pudding Mix and Vanilla: Stir in the dry pistachio pudding mix and pure vanilla extract using a spatula. Fold these ingredients in gently to combine thoroughly but without overmixing.
  3. Combine Cereal and Marshmallows: Add the Rice Krispies cereal and the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows to the pot mixture. Mix completely until the cereal and marshmallows are evenly coated with the pistachio marshmallow blend.
  4. Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into a parchment paper-lined 9-inch square baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press it down evenly. Allow the treats to cool and set for at least one hour to firm up.
  5. Cut and Drizzle Chocolate: After setting, remove the treats from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into 16 equally sized squares. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate evenly over the top of each square and allow the chocolate to set for about 15 minutes.
  6. Serve and Store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature. These treats are also delicious served chilled from the refrigerator.

Notes

  • To achieve a smooth and even chocolate drizzle without lumps, dip a fork in the melted chocolate, gently tapping off any excess before drizzling over the treats.
  • Store the chocolate-covered treats in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag at room temperature to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Chilling the treats after drizzling dark chocolate enhances the chocolate’s set and provides a nice firm bite.
