Recipe Tip

Be careful on this step as white chocolate will burn quickly. Take your time and stir constantly to make sure the chocolate melts perfectly without burning.

Step 3: Pour the white chocolate melted peanut butter mixture over the rice krispies and mini marshmallows and stir to combine.

A rubber spatula works best for stirring all of the sticky no bake ingredients together.

Step 4: Use a mini cookie scoop to drop batter onto the lined baking sheet.

You can use either wax paper or parchment paper, you just need a non stick surface for easy cleanup.

Step 5: Sprinkle the tops of the no bake cookies generously with mini chocolate chips. Work quickly so that the chocolate chips stick to the tops before the white chocolate hardens.

Step 6: Chill the no bake avalanche cookies in the refrigerator until firm.

In the freezer: store in an airtight container in the freezer for 2-3 months. Allow the cookies to thaw for a few minutes before eating.
