Key Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make these easy no-bake peanut butter avalanche cookies:

• Rice Krispies: Regular, plain Rice Krispies are exactly what you need. Store brand crisp rice cereal can be used too.
• White Chocolate Chips: These will be melted and mixed with smooth peanut butter, best combo ever!
• Marshmallows: Use regular white mini marshmallows, they’re soft, fluffy and chewy and totally amazing in these cookies.
• Peanut Butter: Go for commercial smooth peanut butter, I use Skippy but any other brand works.
• Mini Chocolate Chips: These are optional, but I think they give a nice flavor to the cookie and look good too.

How to Make Avalanche Cookies

1. Melt the White Chocolate Chips and Peanut Butter:Add the white chocolate and peanut butter to a microwaveable bowl and heat at 30-secondincrements, stirring after each. Or use a large saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
2. Mix:Let the mixture cool down for a minute or two, then stir in the mini marshmallows and Rice Krispies, making sure that everything is well coated.
3. Scoop: Using a small cookie scoop, scoop small portions onto a pan lined with parchment paper or a Silpat silicone mat, and sprinkle with some mini chocolate chips. Allow to set in the fridge until hardened.

Recipe Tips

• Allow the Mixture to cool before adding it to the Rice Krispies and mini marshmallows. If you add it too soon, the marshmallows will melt and deflate.
• Use Other Types of Chocolate: While white chocolate chips are my first choice, you can totally use almond bark or milk chocolate if you wish. This will change the flavor of the cookie, but it will still be delicious.
• Add Candy or Nuts: These cookies are delicious as is, but to make them festive, you can add holiday M&M’s or sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
