Holiday flavors in a classic dessert

These vegan holiday rice crispies are not a surprise – I will take any chance I get to make a holiday themed crispy treat. I love the sweet and salty combination with these gooey treats, and the tart cranberry adds another layer of holiday flavor to that.

Slice these into squares or roll into balls and add them to your holiday cookie trays – they are always a welcome treat!

 

How to make this recipe

Making cranberry pistachio rice crispy treats is just as easy as the traditional. You need:

• melted butter
• marshmallows
• puffed rice cereal

We love Earth Balance or homemade butter, Dandies marshmallows, and just about any plain gluten free rice cereal. 

You can also get super colorful and make Trix Rice Crispies.

 

 

Tips to make this recipe

My tips for making vegan holiday rice crispies:

• Wet your hands to press the crispies into the pan – they won’t stick!
• Be patient when melting vegan marshmallows – they take longer, but they DO melt.
• Make these in a 8 or 9 inch square pan for a TALL rice crispy treat.
