Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Stir the 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 rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. You can shape them into rough mounds or drop them as clusters.
- Let the cookies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until firm.
- Store the finished avalanche cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half the white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you prefer a slightly firmer texture, add 1 cup of chopped pretzels or nuts along with the cereal.
- If you do not have a microwave, melt the chocolate using a double boiler method on the stovetop.
- These are excellent for cookie box filler recipes during the holidays.
