Ingredients
Scale
Rice Krispie Layer
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Pistachio Layer
- 1½ cups pistachio cream
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Chocolate Layer
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Garnish
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
- ¼ cup melted white chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Remove from the heat and fold in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and gently press into an even layer. Do not pack it too tightly. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the pistachio cream, tahini, and melted butter until smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the pistachio mixture evenly over the Rice Krispie layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pistachio layer.
- Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
- Refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
- Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows for the softest, chewiest texture.
- Press the Rice Krispie mixture gently into the pan so the treats stay light and soft.
- Refrigerate before slicing for clean layers.
- A hot knife wiped clean between cuts makes perfect bakery-style squares.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Make It Your Own
- Use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Add finely chopped roasted pistachios to the pistachio layer for extra crunch.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate before it sets.
- Finish with edible gold sprinkles for an elegant Dubai chocolate-inspired presentation.
