Description

No Bake Avalanche Cookies are a delightful, quick treat combining crispy rice cereal, mini marshmallows, creamy peanut butter, and smooth white chocolate.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Crispy Rice cereal
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 lb white chocolate

Optional Topping

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside to keep the cookies from sticking once dropped.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of crispy rice cereal and 1 cup of mini marshmallows, mixing gently to evenly distribute.
  3. Melt White Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Using a double boiler, gently melt 1 lb of white chocolate with 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter until smooth and fully combined. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  4. Combine Mixture: Pour the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the cereal and marshmallows. Stir carefully until all pieces are thoroughly coated.
  5. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, drop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them apart to avoid sticking.
  6. Add Optional Topping: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie if desired, pressing lightly so they adhere.
  7. Set Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator and chill until the white chocolate is set and the cookies have firmed up, about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days in a cool place.
  • Refrigeration is not strictly necessary, but cookies may become sticky if kept in a warm environment.
  • Using a double boiler ensures the white chocolate melts smoothly without burning.
  • These cookies make a great quick dessert or snack and are perfect for kids to help make.
