Print Recipe

These no-bake avalanche cookies are the perfect quick treat with creamy white chocolate, crunchy rice cereal, and soft marshmallows. Ready in just 20 minutes of hands-on time, they’re a crowd-pleaser that kids and adults both love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (about 2 cups) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and fully melted (about 1.5 to 2 minutes total).
  3. Stir in vanilla extract and salt (if using) until incorporated.
  4. Let the mixture cool for 3-5 minutes at room temperature until warm but not hot.
  5. Fold in crispy rice cereal and mini marshmallows gently with a silicone spatula until evenly coated, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Working quickly, drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Gently press each cookie into a round shape with lightly wet fingers. Do not press too hard.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
  9. Optional: Drizzle melted white chocolate over tops for decoration.
  10. Serve cold or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Don’t overheat the white chocolate—use 30-second intervals. Let mixture cool before adding marshmallows to prevent melting. Work quickly once combined as mixture sets fast. Use fresh cereal for best crunch. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
