Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Step 2: Mix in the Peanut Butter
- Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in the creamy peanut butter until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Cereal and Marshmallows
- Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal, making sure it is evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
- Next, fold in the mini marshmallows. The marshmallows will add a nice chewy texture to the cookies.
Step 4: Form the Cookies
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each cookie for an extra touch of chocolatey goodness.
Step 5: Let Them Set
- Allow the cookies to set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or place them in the fridge for faster results.
Step 6: Enjoy!
Once the cookies have hardened, they’re ready to be enjoyed. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week—though they likely won’t last that long!

The beauty of No-Bake Avalanche Cookies is how easily you can customize them. Here are a few ideas:

- Switch the Cereal: Try using puffed rice, corn flakes, or even granola for a different texture.
