Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- 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, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Combine with Cereal: In a large bowl, gently mix the melted white chocolate and peanut butter with the crispy rice cereal until all cereal pieces are evenly coated.
- Add Marshmallows and Chocolate Chips: Let the mixture cool for a few minutes so the marshmallows don’t melt. Stir in mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips, if using.
- Shape the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping them into cookie forms.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the cookies are firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, enjoy the No-Bake Avalanche Cookies!
- Store: Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.
Notes
- For an extra chocolatey flavor, consider adding mini chocolate chips to the mixture.
- If you want to make a bigger batch, simply double the ingredients.
