Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 9 cups (237g) Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 1 (3.4 ounce) box pistachio pudding mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 15 ounces (424g) mini marshmallows
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon (15ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×13-inch pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the treats.
  2. Measure Cereal: Measure out 9 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and place them into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Melt Butter: In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt 8 tablespoons (113g) of unsalted butter, stirring gently to prevent burning.
  4. Add Marshmallows and Mix: Add 15 ounces (424g) of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until completely melted. Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the pistachio pudding mix and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Combine Cereal and Marshmallow Mixture: Pour the marshmallow-pistachio mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in the bowl. Stir thoroughly to coat all the cereal evenly with the mixture.
  6. Press Into Pan: Transfer the coated cereal into the prepared pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly sprayed with nonstick spray or covered with wax paper to avoid sticking) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
  7. Set and Slice: Allow the treats to cool and set completely at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Once set, slice into bars.
  8. Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, after cooling and slicing, wrap individual bars in wax paper, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Spray wax paper with nonstick cooking spray before pressing the mixture to prevent sticking to your hands.
  • Use a gentle heat when melting butter and marshmallows to avoid scorching.
  • Ensure the treats are completely cooled and set before slicing to maintain their shape.
  • Freezing individual bars wrapped in wax paper helps preserve freshness and prevents them from sticking together.
