Blueberry Pistachio and Marshmallow Cereal Bars

What sorts of treats remind you of when you were a kid? I was feeling nostalgic about the back-to-school season, and decided to recreate a classic treat in the form of Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars. What fun!

I decided to make these Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars. They’re not just for kiddos – I love them, too! They’re great as a treat at the end of the day, or even with coffee in the a.m. – I mean, they’re made with cereal, right?

I haven’t had crispy marshmallow treats in such a long time, and while these brought back memories of snacks from the past, I’m really glad I changed things up a little and added some extra goodies into the mix. The salted pistachio pieces and sweet blueberries are perfect together, studded throughout these bars.
