Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or wax paper
  • Spatula or spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces white melting chocolate
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips divided

Instructions
 

  • Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. This will keep the cookies from sticking as they cool.
  • Melt the white chocolate according to the package instructions. Be sure to melt it gently so it doesn’t burn.
  • Once the white chocolate is melted, add the creamy peanut butter to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal and miniature marshmallows. Make sure they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
  • Fold in ¾ cup of the mini chocolate chips, leaving the rest for topping the cookies.
  • Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Each scoop should be about the size of a small ball.
  • Top each scoop with a few mini chocolate chips for an extra burst of sweetness.
  • Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and let the cookies chill for about 20 minutes, or until they are set and firm. Enjoy your Avalanche Cookies, made with love and perfect for any occasion!
