This is something different that I would love to try to make. I might also dip some in dark chocolate.
This looks like a delicious treat, I can’t wait to give it a try. I think I would finish by dipping it in chocolate (Being the chocolate lover that I am). Thank you for sharing this recipe.
They do look yummy, they remind me of Orville Redenbacher Poppycock.
WHAT! These look so good…I would love to make something like this – very different.
This looks good
These sound great! Perfect for the fall!! Thanks for sharing!!
You had me at pistachio! I am finishing up some pistachio oil I won and just love it. They are an expensive nut I seldom buy so this recipe would be a treat.
I’d make them with just chopped pistachios and not the expensive chewy bites.
Okay.. these sound amazing and one recipe that I have to try I LOVE pistachios and I have never heard of this recipe before thanks so much for sharing.
That is so different! I like how it uses pistachios something we all like and enjoy. They sound like they would have both a sweet and salty flavor!
What a fun recipe. My whole family would like these~ Finally something fun to bake~~I will pin this recipe. Thankyou so much for sharing~ :0)~~~
