Ingredients:
– 2 cups white chocolate chips
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 3 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
– 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
– 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added chocolate flavor)
Directions:
1. Melt the White Chocolate and Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
2. Combine with Cereal: In a large bowl, gently mix the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture with the crispy rice cereal until the cereal is evenly coated.

4. Shape the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, forming cookie shapes.
5. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the cookies are set and firm.
