Description
An elegant twist on classic Rice Krispie treats, featuring honey-tahini syrup and crunchy pistachios for a nutty and addictive snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups (215 g) brown rice cereal
- 1 cup (120 g) chopped pistachios (plus extra for topping)
- 3/4 cup (235 g) honey
- 1/2 cup (120 g) tahini
- 1/4 cup (68 g) pistachio butter
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or ground vanilla (or vanilla extract)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown rice cereal and chopped pistachios; set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, whisk together honey, tahini, pistachio butter, vanilla, and kosher salt. Warm gently until the mixture is hot and begins to bubble softly around the edges — do not boil vigorously.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the syrup over the cereal and pistachios. Fold quickly and thoroughly with a rubber spatula so every piece is coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Sprinkle extra chopped pistachios on top for presentation.
- Use a measuring cup or glass to press the mixture firmly into an even, compact layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour to set.
- Lift the set slab from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 12 squares. Store in a glass container in the fridge or freezer for up to 1 week.
