- 1 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 1/2 cup Rice Krispies cereal, or any store brand.
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pistachio nuts, or more to taste.
- 2-4 ounces white chocolate melted, don’t use Chips they won’t melt properly.
- green sprinkles
Directions:
- Spray measuring cups with cooking spray. Then, scoop out marshmallow fluff into the cups. Spray a mixing bowl as well and add the fluff to the mixing bowl.
- Pour cereal into the mixing bowl and with wet or sprayed hands (cooking spray) mix marshmallow fluff and cereal until almost combined. You can use a wooden spoon that’s been spray as well but, it may take very long and get stuck. Better with your own hands. Add the nuts and then continue until all is combined. This is really messy but it’s a fun activity for you and the kids.

Try not to overheat the chocolate. Stir when done then place in a ziplock bag. Squeeze all the chocolate to one end and snip off the corner.
- Drizzle over the balls then toss the sprinkles. Place one or more nuts in the center. ENJOY these delicious treats!
