Time 2h15m

Yield Makes about 32 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick cooking spray, for pan
1 cup dry milk powder, plus more for dusting
1 stick unsalted butter
1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows, or full-size marshmallows, cut into pieces
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup pistachios

Steps:

Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray; line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Spray parchment and dust with milk powder. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add marshmallows and cook, stirring, until melted, about 2 minutes.
Stir in milk powder, then cranberries and pistachios. Transfer to prepared pan, pressing or spreading to evenly fill. Lightly dust top with more milk powder. Let stand until set, at least 2 hours.
Use overhangs to lift nougat out of pan. Cut as desired (we made strips slightly less than 1/2 inch wide, then cut them in half again to create about 4-by-3/4-by 1/2-inch pieces). Store between layers of parchment or waxed paper at room temperature in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
