These Easy No-Bake Avalanche Cookies are a quick and delicious treat made with white chocolate, peanut butter, crispy rice cereal, marshmallows, and salted peanuts. They come together in under 15 minutes and are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup salted roasted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely smooth and melted (about 1.5 to 2 minutes total).
  3. In a separate large bowl, gently stir together crispy rice cereal, miniature marshmallows, and salted roasted peanuts.
  4. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Using a medium cookie scoop or two spoons, drop rounded portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Press down lightly to form cookie shapes.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until completely firm.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use good quality white chocolate for best results. Do not overheat the white chocolate mixture. For a nut-free version, replace peanuts with salted pretzel pieces or graham crackers and use sunflower seed butter. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
