Pistachio Halvah Rice Krispies Treats
What’s better than a pan full of freshly made, just-gooey-enough Rice Krispies treats? A core memory for many, it continues to be a fan favorite, whether a packaged gas station treat or a high-end bakery grab like this one. Perfectly balanced with an additional layer of texture from the pistachio and halvah, this recipe comes from Shilpa and Miro Uskokovic, the supertalented pastry chef duo that opened Hani’s Bakery + Café in New York’s East Village in 2024. Their use of tahini brings a level of sophistication, and offsets the sweet bite this snack can often have. There is not a thing that needs altering in this recipe, yet, in Rice Krispie treat tradition, it encourages a bit of playfulness for the cook to make it their own.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 (10-ounce/ 283-gram) bag mini marshmallows
- 1/3 cup/100 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons tahini, well stirred
- 2 tablespoons pistachio butter (preferably unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
- 6 cups/160 grams Rice Krispies cereal
- 4 ounces/113 grams store-bought or homemade pistachio or sesame halvah, crumbled and divided
- 1/2 cup/67 grams shelled roasted pistachios, coarsely chopped and divided
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, lightly toasted and divided
Instructions:
- Line an 8-inch square metal or glass pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
- Melt butter in a large Dutch oven or other heavy bottomed pot over medium. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with heatproof flexible spatula, until butter foams, settles and then turns dark brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add marshmallows and stir vigorously until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add condensed milk, tahini, pistachio butter, vanilla and salt; stir well until incorporated and mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
- Remove pan from heat and stir in cereal, half of the crumbled halvah, half the pistachios and half the sesame seeds, scraping bottom of pot and folding until cereal is well coated.
- Scrape into prepared pan and smooth top with spatula. Immediately sprinkle remaining pistachios, sesame seeds and halva on top, covering the surface evenly. Press down lightly with spatula to help adhere. (For best texture, do not compact or press down too firmly.)
- Cover loosely and set aside at room temperature until set, at least 2 hours and up to 24.
- Just before serving, using the parchment paper sling, lift treats out of the pan. Peel away the parchment from underneath and discard. Place the treats on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into 6 to 8 pieces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.

My family is vegetarian and I could only find large vegetarian marshmallows. Somehow they melted lumpy instead of smooth and loose. The result was a dense mixture which did not coat the krispies uniformly. My family commented that they were ok tasting but on the salty side. Also, a pet peeve of mine are recipes that call for small amounts of different ingredients which adds up in cost and leaves a lot of opened unused leftovers. All in all, Not worth it. \n\nNow, what to do with a 2/3 full can of sweetened condensed milk?",

But my favorite method is to take normal rice krispy treat mixture, spread out half in a buttered dish, sprinkle it with some chopped dark chocolate and place the dish in a 200 degree oven so the chocolate softens. Then bring the dish to a counter and use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate. Then press the remaining rice krispy mixture on top of the chocolate (using wet hands helps). Let cool completely. It's like an inside out candy bar.",

"description": "What’s better than a pan full of freshly made, just-gooey-enough Rice Krispies treats? A core memory for many, it continues to be a fan favorite, whether a packaged gas station treat or a high-end bakery grab like this one. Perfectly balanced with an additional layer of texture from the pistachio and halvah, this recipe comes from Shilpa and Miro Uskokovic, the supertalented pastry chef duo that opened Hani’s Bakery + Café in New York’s East Village in 2024. Their use of tahini brings a level of sophistication, and offsets the sweet bite this snack can often have. There is not a thing that needs altering in this recipe, yet, in Rice Krispie treat tradition, it encourages a bit of playfulness for the cook to make it their own.",
