Pistachio Rice Krispie Treats with Dark Chocolate

Pin It

I get it. I have an addiction to Rice Krispie Treats. But once I figured out you can add pudding mix to change the flavor, well, the possibilities are endless. 

And I loved THIS fudge so much I wanted to recreate it in a krispie treat!


Genius move people. First I tried this banana version, then I was ready to experiment. Imagine coconut pudding mixed into your krispies with some additional toasted coconut and dark chocolate….why yes. Don’t mind if I do.
Do you have any food addictions? C’mon. Tell me you do and that I’m not the only one!

I am trying the pudding trick you use with my next batch of RKTreats.

I notice you say to melt over the stove. Do you think it matters in the finished product if one uses the stove or micro? I always melt in the micro. Yours always look soooo gooey and perfect which is why I ask! (and using 5 c not 6 cups is huge too!)

@Averie- I’ve never tried in the microwave, so I can’t say one way or another. Using less Krispies though helps keep them softer. Same goes with not PRESSING too hard into the pan. Enjoy!

I love traditional No Bake Cookies. They are so rich that you can only eat one or two at a time, but they are so addicting that I only make them a few times a year.
