Print Recipe

No-bake chocolate puffed rice bars packed with roasted pistachios and tart dried cranberries, offering a perfect balance of crunch, sweetness, and rich chocolate flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups puffed rice cereal
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup roasted pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips, nut butter, and honey (or maple syrup) together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine puffed rice, pistachios, and cranberries.
  4. Pour melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it down firmly.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened puffed rice for a less sugary option.
  • For extra crunch, toast the puffed rice lightly before mixing.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
  • White or milk chocolate can be substituted for a different flavor profile.
