These creamy, crunchy No-Bake Avalanche Cookies are a copycat version of the famous Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory treat. With only 5 ingredients and about 15 minutes of prep, they are the ultimate easy dessert for busy days or holiday gifting.
16-ounce white chocolate bark (almond bark)
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup miniature chocolate chips, divided
1. Prepare a large cookie sheet by covering with parchment paper or wax paper; set aside.
2. Melt the white chocolate according to package directions in a microwave-safe bowl.
3. In a large bowl, combine the melted white chocolate and peanut butter; stir until smooth.
4. Add the Rice Krispies, marshmallows, and half (1/2 cup) of the chocolate chips; stir well until everything is coated.
5. Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheet and top with the remaining chocolate chips.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the cookies are firm and set.
Use a high-quality white chocolate bark for the best melting consistency.
If the mixture is too soft to scoop, let it sit for 5 minutes before dropping onto the pan.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep the marshmallows fresh and the chocolate firm.
