Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars

August 27, 2018 By Patricia 87 Comments

Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars are just the sort of treat that reminds me of the ones I enjoyed as a kid. I was feeling nostalgic about the back-to-school season and decided to recreate a classic treat in the form of these tasty bars with a twist!

Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars make a fun treat. Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars are great as an after-school snack!

Lately, my Facebook feed has been filled with photos of friends’ cute kiddos heading into a new school year. Do you remember those days? They seem both like a million years ago, and just yesterday.

As I walked down memory lane, I started to think about treats from back in the day, and 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 as a snack with coffee in the a.m. – I mean, they’re made with cereal, right?

Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars are so fun for a delicious snack. Make a batch of these Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars for a great treat.

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.

Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars make tasty after school treats! Yummy is a word to describe these Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars - what a treat!

If you’re packing Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars into a lunch box or bag, wrap them in a sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper. What a wonderful surprise for a kid at lunchtime, or an adult at lunch hour.

Whether you slice your squares small or keep them on the larger size, grab a glass of milk or cup of hot tea or coffee to pair up with Blueberry-Pistachio Marshmallow Cereal Bars. These treats are a delight!

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
