Ingredients
1 bag (10–12 oz) marshmallows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup creamy pistachio butter
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups cornflakes cereal
16 oz dark chocolate (70–72% cacao preferred)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely smooth.
Add Pistachio Flavor: Stir in the pistachio butter, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined and creamy.
Mix with Cornflakes: Remove from heat and gently fold in the cornflakes cereal until evenly coated.
Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and lightly press it into an even layer without packing it too tightly.
Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
Top the Bars: Pour the melted chocolate over the cornflake layer and spread evenly using a spatula.
Add Sea Salt: Sprinkle flaky sea salt generously over the chocolate while it is still melted.
Chill and Slice: Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes until the chocolate is fully set. Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment overhang, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
Use high-quality dark chocolate (70–72% cacao) for the best flavor balance.
Avoid pressing the cornflake mixture too firmly so the bars remain light and crunchy.
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can add chopped pistachios on top for extra crunch and flavor.
