Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Pistachios, chopped Can substitute with almonds or walnuts.
  • 1 cup Chocolate (dark or milk), chopped Dark chocolate adds a richer flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a vegan option.
  • 3 cups Rice cereal Any puffed rice variety works.
  • 1/4 cup Honey or maple syrup Agave nectar can also be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the pistachios coarsely, leaving some whole for presentation if desired.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in the honey or maple syrup, then fold in the chopped pistachios and rice cereal until well combined.
  4. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Spoon the mixture evenly into each liner and press down gently to compact.
  5. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until set.
  6. Once set, remove the cups from the liners and sprinkle with sea salt before serving.

Notes

Use quality chocolate for better flavor. Customize with dried fruits or coconut flakes. These can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to a month.
