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.
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.
