Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
- Combine peanut butter and chocolate: Stir in the creamy peanut butter thoroughly with the melted white chocolate until fully blended.
- Fold in dry ingredients: Gently fold the crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture, making sure everything is evenly coated without crushing the cereal.
- Form cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet aiming for equal sizes for uniform setting.
- Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie to add extra sweetness and texture.
- Set cookies: Allow the cookies to set either at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes until firm to the touch.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the Avalanche Cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning or seizing.
- You can substitute creamy peanut butter with almond butter for a different flavor.
- For firmer cookies, refrigerate until set; room temperature setting may take longer in warm environments.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- These cookies are naturally gluten-free if using gluten-free rice cereal.
