Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
- Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until fully combined.
- Add the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows to the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can drop them as clusters or press them lightly into small mounds.
- Allow the cookies to set completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to speed up the process.
- Store these no-bake avalanche cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a chocolate swirl effect.
- If you want a crunchier texture, add 1 cup of chopped pretzels or nuts along with the cereal.
- If your peanut butter is very stiff, warm it slightly before mixing it with the melted chocolate to ensure a smooth blend.
