Welcome to My Kitchen! These No-Bake Avalanche Cookies are the ultimate quick dessert. Made with just a few pantry staples like peanut butter, crispy rice cereal, marshmallows, and white chocolate, you can whip up this crunchy, sweet candy in minutes. Perfect for last-minute party food or holiday cookie trays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces white chocolate almond bark
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal (Rice Krispies)
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Place the white chocolate almond bark in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
  3. Stir the creamy peanut butter into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is fully combined and uniform.
  4. In a separate large bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal, miniature marshmallows, and half (1/2 cup) of the miniature chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until all the cereal and marshmallows are evenly coated.
  6. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of miniature chocolate chips over the tops of the cookies immediately.
  8. Allow the cookies to set completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for faster setting.
  9. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For the smoothest melt, use a double boiler instead of the microwave if you prefer.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute half of the white chocolate bark with milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • These are excellent for gifting; place them in cellophane bags tied with a festive ribbon.
  • If the mixture becomes too stiff while mixing, microwave it for 10-15 seconds to soften the chocolate coating again.
